Is it difficult to install? I’m not very confident in my electrical skills.

 

I found this easy. The electrical is very straight forward because once you get your current light out you can connect the three wires to the three that are currently connected to the brake light (red to red, white to white, black to white w/black stripe). What can be challenging is getting your old light out, depending on how you do it. There is a thread that talks about breaking your old one out or you have to lower the headliner to remove two 10mm bolts to get the OEM light out. Either is not too difficult, just a bit time consuming.

 

Do you have to drill two holes for this install? I have a 2018 TRD Sport. I see you have like two square nuts attached to the bolts??

 

No drilling for install. Two holes exist now where the pegs of the OEM brake light come through and are held by 10mm nuts. When you remove the OEM light the two holes exist and you slide on the clasp nut, then use the bolts through the back of two of the lights to fasten it to the cab. If you are unfamiliar with this set up, below is a link to the thread that started all of this.

So curious about this I don’t mind taking it off your hands. Would I be able to take all the crud off the light and would you be able to take the vinyl off?

 

Well, the blue RTV is really off it, it's smooth and ready for mounting and just has the color from left over residue, being its a printed plastic, I didn't want to scrub too hard. Also I am going to work on removing the vinyl tonight, I will post pictures without the vinyl and I'm going to recoat with chip guard since it needed to be smooth for the vinyl.

 

Why did you end up having to replace two of the BD lights?

 

They went dim on me and were not as bright as the other.
