I know it sounds crazy but has anyone swap OEM 4th gen RAM 3rd brake light to a Ford Raptor 3rd brake light ? I understand that the connections are the not same but I mean any thing is possible. I'm really curious.

well, doubt the partts would align with the body angles and imagine not only goofy looking but leak like a sieve but everything is possible.

grab some bondo and get busy matching up edges and corners, of both, to each other.

EDIT:
IF Different is the Goal. Could always paint it in Rainbow Colours, wrap the space between teh Cab and Bed in a giant, Frilly Tu-Tu and glue, Ultra Colorful Croc Sandals , everywhere. Think it would definitely stand out then.

There are plenty of aftermarket 3rd brake light designs for our trucks to choose from that would actually fit, and be cheaper in the long run.

I think cool and different would be the new Morimoto's 3rd brake light. Plug & Play..

From the XB LED headlights to the XB LED Taillights, it's clear that Morimoto puts good looks and performance first. The new X3B 3 brake light is no exception ...
Pros and cons: Extremely bright and easy to see ⋅ Extremely high-quality materials

I’m in a different camp on the topic. I’ve never given any thought to aftermarket housings. Just dont like them. Im the same way with bumpers. If I was a hard core offroader that would be different.

I assume you want to do this for the 3 LED running lights the Raptor has? You would have to run extra wires up there to accomplish that in your Ram.

And of course there is the whole issue of whether it contours to the body lines and the mounting holes line up etc.

I vouch for this. Very good light output and quality seems good, happy with it, the only thing I would say is that the factory light is super low profile and this sticks out a lot.
