HOW TO: Changing Third Brake Light

It's not a reflector, it's a third brake light. I would check into the reason for its lack of functionality.

 

my 08 dc dosent even have a reflector. whats up with that?

 

anyone know a site to get a clear 3rd brake light cover like the tail lights?

 

I have the same Third Brake Light and had it for a year and three of the six LEDS are give out already. What a bunch of f@%$##% shit!

 

cool

 

is there a third brake light that has a light on it which can be switched on/off? i want to be able to check my cargo at night without having to pull over. i had this stock on my 01 silverado and i find myself missing that function in my taco. let me know tw, thanks!

 

I will defintely order this. I tried the nightsade on my light and it turned out like crap. It was my first time using this kind of spray. operator error !

 

I have 2013 Tacoma double cab and would like to install the switch I purchased that will make the 3rd brake light flash at different rates that I can select. No problem with the installation I just have to get the light off the body. Is this held with only an adhesive with no other fastners where the headliner has to be removed? My dealer has had no experience with this and can't help. Since the vehicle is new and a replacement light is $140 I don't want to damage the light or the body.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i got that same light....and it sucked so bad it wasnt even funny. It looked good but it would fill up with condensation every time it rained/snowed. They wouldnt replace it so i put the stocker back on and tinted it

 

You're stock one looks good tinted. I'm gonna do it tomorrow.

 

Would this procedure be the same for a 2000 Pre-Runner? Want to make sure before I start trying to pry the light housing off.

 

You have to take the headliner loose because there are two bolts behind it that are also holding it in

 

No, there are no bolts on that light going through the cab to the inside, and the headliner does not have to come off at all. My post is old, and I took care of this long ago. Two screws goes from the outside through the lens and reflector,and threads into something behind the reflector on the outside of the truck. The hardest part is making the little seal stay put while putting the lens back on.

 

Is there a fuse for 3rd break light mines not working

 

brake light cover

old school

 

How do you keep the LED 3rd brake light from sending an error? Had one installed before and it caused my shift lock to engage. I've heard that there's something to install in line with the wiring to trick the computer

 

okay, dig it, so where did you scoop that light please ? will it fit 2nd gen ? looks like it will. thank you

 

I’m guessing this goes for the 2015 model year as well ya?

 

we need a tutorial on how to prevent the new aftermarket tail lights from getting condensation . NOW THAT IS THE ULTIMATE HOW TO!!!!
