Amazon Buy: Third Brake Light Install
Hi Guys! Here is another video for the archives!
So my third brake light was leaking, a bit melted, and full fo dirt. So I decided to replace it with an LED version I found on Amazon. Enjoy!

I went through this already and used the chrome one which is sold through LMC Amazon and Ebay. I'm not a fan of either of these aftermarket lights and would much rather just have an original third brake light. I just installed LEDs from superbrightleds.com in a nice original lamp assembly I picked up to replace my melted one. I wish a reputable company would reproduce the original light. I also don't think they look better but actually a little ugly. No offense intended, and keep up the videos.

Id just get the OEM rear light and do the superbrightleds.com bulbs, those chineese type lights are junk, circuit boards arent potted in epoxy and arent even sealed, gasket and housing dont seal to the body your asking for leaks. No need to reinvent the wheel.

I would have done that, but the previous owner trashed the OEM housing. From what I can tell he liked to carry ladders and lumber by angling it up over the cab and leaning it on the light and cab roof. I love the LED bulbs I've put in other housings.

I actually started a thread to get anyone interested to help convince Dorman to reproduce this lamp assembly. Hoping enough interest is shown to spark their interest in offering one.

Yeah it's bad! I had to mop it all out several times already and I can already see rust spots forming.
