    I looked around on here and didn't see anything for a mod to have spot light integrated into 3rd brake light on top of rear cab like fords and Chevys have. I am surprised this is not a stock feature. Any ideas??

    Someone on here did a little cutting and got Frontier's light in there. Didn't look too bad either.

    I'd just mount a work light or something at the corner of the bed near the cab and call it a day or mount up led strips like everyone else does. I wouldn't want to chance having the new hole leak for a new brake light however possibly slim the chances are.

    Ya I was just going to say mounting a small light on bed rail below slider window might be the best option.

    Looks like a ton of work! I don't have the balls for that. I think some cheap LEDs will do just fine. Any suggestions on cheap LEDs? There are so many brands out there. The OK LED brand looks reasonably priced....
