After having the "wrong" year upper brake light, I have the correct year that simply clips up to the window.
I had to splice and direct wire it because the male connector on the LH side of the glass was missing. I had a light from a 2010-12 taurus. Mounts different, and the cover looks different. 2013+ are a simple clip on style as shown here. Also because I removed the mounting "clips" I had to figure out how to mount them. Thats where this strong & clear gorilla mounting tape came in handy. Holds up to 15lbs but this light weighs merely less than a pound. For a reference point on where the "clips" go on the glass, there will be two boxes that mark where they go from the factory. When I mounted them they have a "L" & "R" respectively. They also point rearward and are curved to match the glass.
If you ever have to replace yours if it doesn't work or in my case a window tint shop technician who tore it out and didnt replace it and i had to fix it. They tinted over the light instead of around it. Last two photos show how these clips mount.
