I have been looking for a third brake light for my 87 RAM50. I have found a couple on line for about $150 a little steep I think. I was at the junk yard and found a 94 Mighty Max with one I bought for $10 SURPRISE!!!

I took the thing home cleaned it up and checked it out. It didn't work SURPRISE!!! So I started carefully separating the lens from the base and the LED strip was held in with 2 screws.

I figured I would take a chance and order a light off amazon the first light I ordered was a 32 bulb LED third brake light. I disassemble the light and the strip was a little short. I ordered the 40 bulb LED strip for $16 and it fit perfect, I held the the strip to the base with 3 dabs of silicone.

I will be installing this by picking up the feed from the brake light switch under the dash at the brake pedal.
