Does anyone on the forum have any experience with the ACARI products?

They have a model for the 2018 2500 HD but after contacting the company and sending a pic of my "cab high mount stop light" (3rd brake light), I have the LED type with cargo cam they told me it wouldn't work. I'm assuming my light is swappable with a standard 2500 HD so not totally convinced. Hoping someone here has had some experience.
I have seen this listed in some other thread but can't remember where. If it could work it's a great way to provide a "no drill" base for lights or temporary magnetic based antennas (saving the paint).
I'm also open to other ideas such as a headache type bar that will work with my rambox and tonneau. I've looked at the offerings of bed-bars which are great but outside my budget for now.
Thanks for any advice/comments

No experience, but they probably have to use a pigtail extension inside their housing - and they probably didn't add the extra wires for the camera. I have no information on this for sure, but I would almost guarantee that's the case.

Thanks for the reply. I actually thought that until I dug a little deeper into their website which has the parts list for the kit (no pig tails). What it did list is the custom vehicle specific bezel for the truck's brake light. I couldn't tell from the pics if it's cut out for the specific brake light or the brake light simply attaches to the outside as it would on the truck cab. If that's the case the mounting screws on my optional brake light should be in the same locations as the non-optional light on a stock power wagon. I think I'll reach back out to the company with that question.

Update: For anyone else on the forum that may have interest in this product for their Power Wagon with the cargo cam this is the reason from the manufacturer why it will not work with our trucks:
"The problem is the inside of the brake light opening is different and that is where our clamps mount to hold the unit in place. With the Cargo cam the opening is deeper and our clamps aren’t able to get into place to tighten down."
