Hi All,

I have non LED taillights and the brake light is out on the drivers side. Is it just a replacement bulb or do I need to change out the whole thing? If it’s just the bulb, can someone please help me out with the part number?

Thanks

Pages 367-369 in the owners manual (according to the pdf copy I downloaded for my ‘23 Badlands). This is a chart of the bulbs from the manual, has the bulb type listed (WT21W/7W).

@SLBronco11 - this table may not be same for your model. Google "2021 ford bronco big bend replacement light bulbs size" to find your size/options.

You can change the lamp but you have to pull the entire light assembly out to do it

Be glad it's the driver's side. Pulling either tail light housing is a huge pain in the ass but I found the driver's side easier than the passenger's side. I call these newer vehicles "Lego Cars" because they're designed to be snapped together once... at the factory. Be as careful as you can and some plastic still gets broken.

Truth. Passenger side is twice as hard

OP, what bulb did your Bronco take? I’m curious to see if the owners manual is wrong as someone else suggested.

It’s not wrong. All models with halogen rear lights are the same.
JL3Z-13466-F is the Ford part number and it matches the owners manual.

Yep, I replaced my Halogen's with LED bulbs, and the lower panel on the passenger side broke loose from the mounting bracket. Had to reattach it to the bracket with construction adhesive. Still holding so far!
