Replaced my stock tail lights on my 16 Tradesman this weekend with leds that came with load equalizers wired into Them. There are no bulb out messages. Now I am on the hunt for an led third brake light/cargo light. Wondering if there are brands that include the load equalizer and would I need one since both tail lights already have them?

My 2014 Tradesman has had LEDs on the 3rd brake light and cargo lights for the last 6 months without issues. You only need to search for Canbus error free 921 LEDs and you're set.
These are the ones I got back then (also used on the backup lights)

I have these 921 high output 6K White for my reverse.

All plug & play and give no dash error message. Come with 3 year warranty if they fail. Note: always put same color LED behind same color lenses for deep vivid color. Example: Red behind Red lenses.

I was looking for a complete sealed third brake light but the bulb thing is looking like a good possibility as well. Especially the reverse light bulb. My back window has a dark tint and it gets hard to see when backing up. I don’t want to install a back up camera either.

Invest $5 in a new gasket for the 3rd light.
Vipmotoz makes one that's double sided adhesive.
And don't lose the washers for the two screws holding it on, they're a potential leak point.

Good tip. I’ve heard that it’s a potential leaky spot from the factory

I decided to try an Amazon special. Dont get this one. The white cargo light stays on all the time. Every time I press the brake it comes on and doesn't go off. Too bad cause I like how it looks. Screenshot_20200521-212849_Amazon Shopping.jpg
