Will this mount directly to my factory third brake light location?

Yes, this unit is designed for factory mounting points — no drilling or bracket fabrication needed. Use the original fasteners or equivalent hardware to secure it.

Does this come with a bulb, or do I need to source one separately?

The assembly ships complete and ready to install. Confirm all connectors match your vehicle's wiring before final fastening.

Can I paint this to match my vehicle, or does it come ready to go?

The red lens is finished and ready to mount as-is. If you need to modify or repaint, test-fit first and handle the lens carefully to avoid damage.
