3rd Break Light replacement (pics)

[the codes]

This is a pretty easy to do but I figured id post it up anyway just for people to look at. did it a few months ago.

Used a recon for my replacement.



Just undue the 2 screws, and the seals wont let it release, so get a flat head screwdriver or a butter knife and put a sheet or something over them and slowly/gently pry up around the edges till you can get it up. Might take a little muscle. If your really having a hard time you can resort to a heat gun.





simply connect the connectors, factory/replacement, wrap it with tape (optional)



my screws were rusty so I just gave em a brush and painted em black.





replace screws, done. easiest mod ever lol

Hows the cargo light output on that?? I use the crap out of my cargo light. Need something semi bright at least to light the bed.

lol Yea some people have even forgotten they have one. lmao

I use it in the summer all the time. Bonfires, Unloading at the derby track, cutting wood int he fall, drive in movies. Yea mine gets a workout. Only thing I wish was that I didn't have to have the interior lights on for the cargo light to be on.

Is it that easy with just a regular led 3rd brake light off of ebay?

I would think so. might wanna put a extra bead of silicon on the seal though.
