    Hey guys, i just wanted to introduce myself and let you know there is a new option for a 3rd brake light/chase light out there. I've started a little side business and have several of these lights available to ship right now. I don't have enough posts to put this in the classifieds so if anyone is interested, please send me a PM.

    Cheers

    Jeff

    Aluminum or 3d printed? If 3d printed plastic, what plastic is used? and how is the UV resistance? Also, estimated cost?

    I live in a place where the sun destroys even ABS that's claimed to be UV resistant.

    Ohhh if this works with a 2nd Gen. You can take my money away.
    (Yes I can feed that area more wires.)
    What lights are in there.
    And it’s a shame the center light isn’t angled to point at the bed.

    I could be wrong, but by looks alone the 3rd gen access cab third brake light is the same as the 2nd gen.

    I think the Gen 2 have screws that are accessed from outside the cab. The Gen 3 have studs connected to the OEM light and are held on by nuts that are accessed from inside the cab. I doubt the locations of these holes are the same between Gens. Also, if they changed mounting configurations, they may have changed the Cab profile as well. The Gen 3 light is machined to match the curve of the cab so it fits nice and tight.

    I may be wrong, but the 3rd gen Access Cab and Double Cab have different third brake lights. 3rd gen Access Cab light looks more like the 2nd gen light.

    I think you're right. Looks like the Gen 3 access cab has a different light than the double cab. That's interesting.
