I've got the same one. I've had it almost a year. I was following my wife the other night. It was the first time I wasn't driving and got to see it and it looks great. Nice and bright.

That looks cool but I can’t do that in Nevada. It’s illegal.

@LokiWolf amazon is saying that it doesn’t fit, but clearly it fits yours. Did you have to modify it at all?

16 is EXACTLY the same as a 17, like I said above. It fits a 2017. Before I bought it I compared OEM part
Numbers. 16 and 17 are the same part number.

What? It is brighter than OEM, and has DOT certification. Absolutely nothing illegal.

Many states require brake lenses to be red even when not illuminated.

Those are the basic vehicle requirements in Nevada. I see no mention of a requirement they be Red when not illuminated in regards to the 3rd brake light.

They also make one with a red lens...

Looks good. JMU and RVA...you must be near me in Richmond.

Yes, I agree it looks better although I added a flash unit with mine to give me fast flash followed by slow flash then ending in solid on for the added pizzazz and safety of more attention from possible distracted drivers behind me.

Virginia Administrative Code: (19VAC30-70-150. Rear Lamps: Tail Lamp; License Plate Lamps; and Rear Lamp Combinations.)

Inspect for and reject if:

5. Lens on rear lamps, or lens area in combination rear lamps (tail lamps) are not red. LED (light-emitting diode) lights with a clear lens are acceptable. Vehicles equipped with multiple LED lights (not filament-burning bulbs) will pass a safety inspection if more than 50% of the diode lights are burning.

NOTE: Replacement tail lamps, commonly sold as "clear" tail lamps or "Euro-Tail" lamps will not pass inspection if the red lamps are replaced with clear ones.

Thanks Chuck...

But that does not apply to the 3rd Brake light, only the Tail Lamps. Thanks. Already verified with multiple inspectors in VA. Had the same style on my 250, 150 before that, and Ranger before that. Never had ANY issues, and several were inspected by the dealer many times, and they are typically the most picky.

Thanks again...

Now you got me wondering where your allegiances are?

Wife and I both went there! But we met after school, many years later...Thank God! She would have NEVER dated me at school.

-GO DUKES!
