We're planning on converting the cargo lamp above the rear window to a third brake light with a bright LED board

Haven't done it yet though

I have done some google searching before and found that 90's model Ford truck brake lights match the contour of our cabs. Someone did a mod.  I  went with the third brake light with the back window retro fit that one piece makes.   Looks nice!

Ok here are some pics of the window and brake light. 

Brake light on:


Interior shot, not 100% done and trim piece will need trimming to fit over.


I could have wired it so each side would blink for the turn signals but this was the easiest way to wire it.   Besides, I added turn indicator LED's to the side mirrors behind the glass and I thought that would be too much blinking!

Here is the link for a different way, requires some sheet metal cutting.
