DIY 3rd brake light
« on: December 28, 2009, 05:52:36 am »
i bought a smoked 3rd brake light for my 99 dodge from darrel at dpp. he had a killer deal and couldnt pass it up.

first u have to take the 2 phillips screws out of the stock 3rd brake light



then u pull the bulbs out of the stock 3rd brake light. then u have to pull both center bulbs out of the wire harness.

 

and plug the new wire into the stock sockets for the leds



then u push the wires and put the stock socket into the 3rd brake light and the two outer bulbs into there place



then reinstall the two phillips head screws back into it :tu:



 here is a few pics of the lights lit up. sorry there not the best, using the camera phone outer lights for the bed



 3rd brake led lights


 
and both together

So these are just bulb replacements and not the entire housing? :scratch:

the center section is LED ond the out side 2 for the cargo area are the stock bulbs, but are alot brighter since the housing is clear instead of the cloudy housing of the stock. ill take pics at night once i get the trans fixed and truck running again.
