Hey Robin is that a 08 brake/reverse light above the rear window too? Mine does not look like that.

That's aftermarket. LED brake light with incandescent cargo lights. No reverse lights.

Had to replace the stocker after whacking it with a piece of lumber.
At least I didn't hit the cab.

Recent pic after addition of '08 tailgate and Snugtop hard tonneau cover.



With the '05 grille, '02 headlights and '04 body side mouldings nobody can guess the year of my truck.

Robin are those OEM 2008 tail lights?

Not that my pockets are deep enough right now to do this but I was going to price it out and add it to my wish list, but the lights I am finding look different.

Got these OEMs from PartsGuyEd. At the time I paid 48 bucks each plus shipping. There $52.57 through Ed now.

P/Ns 7C3Z13405A LEFT - 7C3Z13404A RIGHT

Check the links in Trey's post #12. He found some good priced aftermarket tailights. 20 bucks cheaper each.

Thanks,

It is a bit of a "Franken-truck", but looks pretty stock so it is pretty much a sleeper. I like it that way. I get to put a surprising hurt on a few unsuspecting drivers.

No I don't Trey. Even if I did I would not recommend this one. After the first rain I could see that water had half filled the cargo lights. The LED brake light center portion was sealed so no water got into it. I had to remove the light and use some door jam weather strip to seal it. Has been water tight since. It was an Ebay buy over 4 years ago. I'm sure there are some good ones out there but how do you tell? Caveat emptor.

Anyone know what I could have done wrong? Both my reverse lights do not work after this mod. Under steering wheel fuse is fine. I did one side at a time and I noticed after I did one side, both sides (stock side) and newly spliced in side no longer worked. Any help is appreciated. Completely new to this type of vehicle.

Hey SW Welcome to FTE. Unfortunatley the original person Robin who did this mod past away a few months ago and as you can tell by his attention to detail he is greatly loved and missed here on the forum.

However you are in luck because we have lots of great guys and gals here that I am sure will help point you in the right direction. So hang tight and one of them will be along.

Or feel free to post a new thread about the issue also...

Again Welcome to FTE
