Third Brake light ???

Hello back into a Tacoma after a few years away. Wondering if anyone makes a third brake that houses lights? Had a Raptor previous to my Tacoma now. A few companies made them for
Raptors that housed Baja Designs S2’s. See photos for reference

Thanks in advance!!

Mesojdm has one he has built

 

@mesojdm makes a third brake light for a 3rd gen. Take a look at his threads and @KTJO 4x4 Just got one recently

 

thats what I wanted to do. one amber chase and one red brake.

 

If you look on the photo with the red truck. There’s small round leds. Those are both running/brake lights. They’re pretty bright when on. Dont see the need for a Tacoma to use as a running light like Raptors do but the brake light function would work nicely.

 

I know for commercial trucks they are clearance lights. Put at the top so you know how tall/wide you are. Why they thought they needed to put them on the Raptors is also beyond me . . . I saw those as well.

 

And yet they do. If you make a vehicle that's over 80 inches wide, it starts to fall into various "commercial vehicle" categories, and one of the requirements of vehicles this size is that they have -- in the words of our government -- "three amber front and three red rear identification lamps spaced between 6 and 12 inches apart at the center of the front and rear of the vehicle, as high as practicable." This is why you see these lights on an F-150 Raptor (over 80 inches wide) and not on a regular F-150 (79.9 inches wide -- likely not a coincidence). It's also why you see the lights on heavy-duty trucks and not light-duty models.

The brake light in ur photo is from Evil Manufacturing...

And they're badass, and I want one!!

 

Think it was DOT on the width.

 

Evil MFG makes one. It’s definitely a nice piece since it houses an s2 sport, or pro along with the NMO mount.
