Re: Third brake light ???
Working on my truck today,I though about that very same thing.
For some reason my cargo light has never worked so why not make it a third Brake light |

Re: Third brake light ???
I bought a flexible red led strip from the local parts store that i plan to hot glue inside the housing and run a new wire from the brake switxh to power it. This way i will still have the cargo light as well.
