Can anyone recommend a LED 3rd brake light? I just ordered TYC black projector headlights and OEM replacement LED tail lights. I'm trying to find a good LED 3rd brake light that is red/black to match the tail lights, but all I'm seeing is some cheap Ebay ones. Any recommendations? I'm also trying to figure out what to do with the fog lights. Maybe just tint the lens on the OEM light? Or, purchase something new with a tinted look? Maybe LED's?

Thanks!

I have one of the cheaper versions off of ebay and it does pretty good... especially for less than $40.

For 09-17 Ram 1500, 10-17 2500/3500 Black LED 3rd Brake Light LED Stop Cargo | eBay

Only a couple of things that I would advise... the gasket was thin and cheap, but I had some weatherstripping already that I had used on my OEM brake light. Once that was on, the screw holes were a little harder to line up, but they worked. The other thing, the white LED's point straight back in the same line that the red ones do. So, when the cargo lights come on, they are bright from behind the truck, but do not light up the bed all that much.

Thanks for the info! At least I know you're having good luck with one purchased off of Ebay. And, I like that one....I'll probably go with it too.

There are a few members on here with that same light. That's how I found it. No issues from anyone that I know of.

That's the same one I have. Do not over tighten it and be sure to silicone it good.

Thanks to everyone that responded. I ordered it last night and surprisingly, it might be here tomorrow. This weekend is definitely LED light install w/e. The TYC projectors, LED tail lights and the front and rear harness from Retro Shop will be here on Thursday. Total cost of a little over $1500 was more than I expected, but at least everytime I see LED's on other Rams, I don't have to say "They're the lights I want"...
