Third brake light.

I was wondering if anyone has converted the cargo light on the back of the cab to a third brake light. If so what all did you do and where did you get the parts. Also does anyone have any custom third brake lights in the cab.. Pictures would be nice.

Second item on this page-

I have not done this mod yet but plan to in the future. I'd like to do the LED brake lights to but the price is hard to swallow.

Re: Third brake light.

Re: Third brake light.

Not to stray, but I wired mine as my reverse light. I didn't like the trailer light look of the stepside tail/reverse lights.
