Heads up. LED Cargo light insert from Custom Classic L.E.D. Lighting - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1971short4X4 · 12-10-2002, 02:54 AM

Guy's just a little heads up on another awesome thing Ryan Reum and Joel are doing.

---A custom LED insert for the stock cargo light to make it a bright red third brake light when the brakes are on.. but when they are off it looks totally (undetectably) bone stock. The thing is awesome.

For some reason the digital camara cannot pic up the redness of the led's. In real life the light is bright red that is even thoughout the whole cargo light, but in the pic's it looks pink to whitish.

Installation Is easy. Plop in the board in the cargo light, hook up
a ground and run the positive wire to the the white white connected to the switch above the brake pedal. (i tested by pushing the brakes and also with lights
and turn signals. Works perfect)

Please post if you are insterested in this. (trying to help Joel and Ryan know whether others are interested in something like this)

Thanks

Tom

i wish i had a cargo light now...awesome though, sweet truck btw

sakohntr · 12-10-2002, 05:12 AM

I would take a couple if there under 100.00

70c10 · 12-10-2002, 09:01 AM

I remember longhornmail designed one of those for his truck last year. Not sure if it was LED though. I wish my truck came with a cargo light.

**1970 CST Short Wide** · 12-10-2002, 11:52 AM

I,m interested. How much and who do I talk to

Reumster · 12-10-2002, 12:59 PM

I will be making things of this nature by hand. For the time being. The third brake light insert requires hard wiring. It has 60 LEDs (if I remember correct of the top of my head) I can make these for $45.00 And also the basic third brake light set-up eliminates your cargo light.

Remember the cost is a little higher due to the fact that it takes alot more time being as they are hand assembled and cut. But at the same time you'll be part a just a few people with one! LOL

69sixpackbee · 12-10-2002, 02:57 PM

Nice but I will still use my cargo lite as a cargo lite.

Longhorn Man · 12-11-2002, 12:24 AM

70c10, I'm glad some one remembered.
If you do it yourself, you can retain white light function AND third brake light.

jmil1974 · 12-11-2002, 10:32 AM

How hard is it to add a cargo light or 3rd brake light? Anyone got an extra laying around? I know I'd like an LED 3rd brake light!

Reumster · 12-11-2002, 01:51 PM

Yes you can add a cargo light. You just need to buy the assembly from a 67-72 parts place I'm sure. And do a little cutting! LOL

But if you really want the added safty and looks of LED third brake light and don't want to lose your cargo light I can make a insert with white LEDs and red LEDs but it'll cost a bit more white LEDs are the most expensive.

Curbstone Mech · 12-11-2002, 09:52 PM

I'd like one of those 3rd brakelites.
Reumster- don't you also make the led tail lites for our trucks? I need a pair of those too.

Hooter · 12-12-2002, 12:44 AM

How much!? I smell a Christmas present coming up!

Reumster · 12-12-2002, 01:38 PM

We have a limited supply of production tail light inserts available. $75.00 act fast.

And I can make the third brake light inserts for $45.00 Red LEDs only. with cargo/ white LEDs it'll be a cases by case basis.

If you serious e-mail Joel for tail inserts or me for custom hand made work/ third brake inserts. But e-mailing us direct is the best method.

Reumster · 01-15-2003, 03:33 PM

TTT

Tynee · 01-15-2003, 04:12 PM

I came across a cargo light assembly a couple days ago on e-bay. Would have linked it here if I'd known that anybody was interested in adding them. Sorry.

Tuck · 01-15-2003, 05:25 PM

How about a whole kit with the tail light to with lenses. I would be interested in that.

Reumster · 01-16-2003, 09:50 AM

Tuck I don't quite follow you? You want a third brake light and taillight inserts?

wnc mountain · 01-16-2003, 10:08 AM

If you do the cargo/brake combo w/ leds, how bright will it be for the cargo light? same, less, or more bright. like the third brake light idea, but use my light on occasion.

Reumster · 01-16-2003, 10:49 AM

wnc mountain I can make the third brake light to keep the cargo light function and have third brake . It uses 24 Ultra bright white LEDs and 84 red LEDs. It's spendy though. But the third brake LEDs are the same brightness as the brake lights on the tail inserts

chevy2racr · 01-16-2003, 12:48 PM

I think he means how bright are the whites for the cargo lamp

Reumster · 01-16-2003, 01:38 PM

Well in perspective the red LEDs we use are 1300 mcd, and the white are 3200! So it's over double as bright. mcd is how they measure brightness in LEDs

Tuck · 01-16-2003, 02:38 PM

Yes , Im interested in the third brake lite and the tail lights , but would like a kit with new lenses also. Hell even with the whole tailight housing to . It would be drop in and go.

Do you have this? Im sure paul could hook me up.

Tynee · 01-16-2003, 02:57 PM

Found that cargo lamp on e-bay again.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...&category=2031

Hope this worked.

DarkFox1 · 01-16-2003, 03:56 PM

stop stealing my ideas!!

damnit, is someone reading my mind? lol, everything I was gonna do has already been done.. so much for "custom"

JoetheMobster · 01-16-2003, 04:31 PM

I like the idea of the of the third brake light, plus cargo light. Kind of like a Canadian flag!! (at least in my head) Would look real neat if one side of the brake light flashed with the turn signal, while opposite end stayed bright with brake light, kind of like the regular tail lights....

I'm far off from getting these inserts though, as the rear end of my truck looks like hell still! (tail light section anyway)
