Third brake light is finished

Post by kstones63 »

I got the third brake light in the tailgate finished and put on the truck today. It's an LED light bucket with a red diffuser that I shaped to match the curves in the tailgate. This all came from www.watsons-streetworks.com

It blends in fairly well with the paint but when the light comes on, it really stands out.

I used a Magnum Shooter for the contact switch so I don't have to worry about wires getting pinched or damaged.

Kevin, you should have centered it. :rotflmao:

It looks good, hopefully it will stop anyone from rear ending you.

I agree! That is a super looking tailgate. Nice work! And, that is a pretty nice looking garage stall too.

That ladder is 12' tall and is above the tracks for the rear garage door so it can't possibly fall on the truck. :D
