Need some input. I am on my 3rd brake light for my 99 SVT Contour. Each one I have picked up is too wide for the opening in the rear package tray. Did Ford put a smaller third brake light on the 99 SVT?
 
Yes, they changed midyear in 98. After 2/98 they went with a different style housing and mount. The older style has 9 smaller lights in a strip, and the new one has 5 larger, easier to access bulbs, which a LED bulb is available. I went with a newer style (since mine broke) and used LED bulbs in them.
