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.

My opinion...that ladder is way too close to that sweet looking truck.

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
