Default 2012 F150 STX Third Brake Light?????

I seem to be having some trouble locating a third brake light that not only fits my STX, but also has gread reviews. Im looking for an led, smoke cover preferably plug and play but not necessary. Can anyone recommend one for me?

I have a recon one on my STX.

I soldered mine in place and it's been working great for over a year.

The easiest thing to do would be to just replace the OEM bulb with a quality led.

You will read a lt of bad reviews on recon but I realized a lot were due to improper install etc. like I said, I soldered mine and they have worked fine for over a year.
