    Does anyone know where i can get an OEM smoke 3rd brake light for under $75? I have a silver truck and am going for all black accessories but im trying to not spend a ton of money on it.

    A smoked lens will reduce the light output, which for a brake light can worsen response time for the driver behind you.

    There are LED replacement 3rd brake lights with clear lense but a black inlay. You can find them on eBay.

    They are like $120 for the LED 3rd brake lights that have the black inlay I just want it dimmer not such a bright ass red color smoker per say. And if people can't see my LED brake lights glowing in their face they have issues so not to worried about the 3rd brake light not being so bright.

    The 3rd brake light has been scientifically shown to reduce reaction times. Brighter taillights don't make up for a dim 3rd brake light.
