Title: New tail lights, and blinking 3rd stop light
Post by: gracerace on November 01, 2020, 04:32:11 pm
Finished the new tail light conversion, love them. Plug and play

Many different types, $81.99 + tax for a pair delivered off ebay:

Thanks to Roger for his clever idea, added a blinker to the 3rd brake light. Have the parts to make brake lights do it too, but think it might be too confusing with turn signal activated.

Added diode's to backup lights to rear landing lights.

Any suggestions for adding another "3rd tail light"  up higher-- pulling full size pickup with atv on board will cover the current 3rd light.  Would like to add one higher plus get the blinking mode on it.

Chris, they make all kinds of surface mount brake lights, just wire into existing one. It's just a ground and hot.

The blinker fits inside with 3rd tail light.

I'm leaning more toward a flush mount,  more work but I think they look much better!

Chris, Rance at Xtreme added these for me. Pretty inexpensive.  Hole saw and install, simple. Be sure you pay attention to clearance on the upper driver's side.
