3rd brakelight replacement

I have searchd high an low and havent seen any replacement 3rd brakelights except for factory. Mine is faded and dates the vehicle as all other lights are either upgraded or not faded. Thanks

so it won't be the exact shade of red it once was. Kinda hard to tell from space.

This is the one I used. Very bright and the cargo LEDS lights up the bed perfectly. I've changed my tail lights, front and back turn signals to LED's. Not the bulb replacements, but fabricated modules (front). This third brake light compliments nicely.

That's a nice looking light. I'll definately have to keep that one in mind. I noticed my 3rd brake light looking a little faded as well, last night when I was waxing the truck.

Cool Anyone else had this Problem

I know this is broughtback from the depths but, I gotta ask yall...

I went to replace the bulbs in the third brake light and found out it was a PITA to get it out. Once I got it out I noticed a rust spot at the bottom center where the rounded part of the housing is located. Also looks like there is a slight bend of the same shape in the metal.

Anyone elso experience this or was something done wrong when I took out the housing to replace the bulbs?
