    Does anyone make a bed light that replaces the third brake light like on most trucks where the third brake also has a cargo lamp. I really hate how i have no bed lights.

    You mean like replacing the 3rd brake light altogether? Cuz I think that's illegal.

    If you mean adding the white side lights to a red brake light... I doubt it. But it'd be cool if someone knew for sure!

    I've seen a couple guys put Chevy Colorado third brake lights in. They require a little cutting of your body to make it fit (which personally scares the hell out of me) but it can be done.

    There is a thread around here somewhere by a gentleman who replaced the third brakelight with a Tundra third brakelight. He had to do some cutting, but took good pictures with a nice write-up. Try a search on 3rd brakelight.

    You should be able to do whatever you want with your third light. No law requires you to have it. Rip it out and put in a switchable bed light if you want to. Just make sure it's disconnected from your brake pedal :)

    Yes, you are required to have it in some states. The only way you aren't required to have it, is if the vehicle never had one from the factory.
