My roof top tent was slightly impacting my third brake light, which was kind of busted up when I bought the truck, so I decided to upgrade and replace it. I went with a pretty inexpensive LED unit that is smoked and, I think, looks a lot nicer than the stock one.
In this video, I’ll show you, step by step, exactly how to do this upgrade/replacement. I’ll also give you some tips based on what I learned to help save you time and make the install as easy as possible.
So, if you’re third brake light is out and you want to upgrade it at the same time as fixing it, check out the video!

Installed black to black red to red green to white, only brake lights work no reverse or cargo lights. cargo and dome lights don't work, truck wont honk or light up when locking it. (still locks the truck) this shitty product is gonna end up costing me time and money don't recommend well edit when i figure this mess out. . .
Your reverse lights are actually cargo lights.
What size deep socket wrench did you use?
How were you able to wire the harness wires to the led light wires? It seems like they are both male connectors.
I got the same ones and when I connected them my dome and cargo lights went out like completely out they worked before but now not at all
Did you have any issues installing the wheels on your decked?
How did you end up getting that wiring harness disconnected? I can’t get in there
Is it supposed to stay on while the headlights are on? After replacing it, they only go on when I hit the brakes.
Do you happen to know if this will fit a 2022 Frontier? The whole truck comes with LED lighting except for the 3rd brake light. I don't understand why manufacturers keep doing this lol. They go all LED except for one set of lights, usually the rear turn signals or in the Frontier's case, just the 3rd brake light.
I also got the clear tail lights. Completely changes the look of the truck
Keep up the great work!
