Default Recommend me a replacement third brake light

Looking at a lot of the LED models on ebay, someone recommend me one that's worth a damn for my 2011... I am not planning on spending a ton of money, so hope to avoid the junk...

Something like this, Thanks...

Wanted LED, however, also wanted the red to be the entire width of the CHMSL, AND plug-and-play - MEANING: no cutting/splicing of wires - as seen on eBay® ...
Also, opted to tint it using VHT's nite shades ...


Sorry for the poor quality of the pic' ...
NOTE: Installed Apr'2011 and have had no issues.

Smoked Recon here as well, was a match to my recon tails. Pricy but worth it.

Amazon Amazon

No issues. Much less $$ than OEM and better quality.

Recon Raptor smoked from Stage 3. I put about about 1/8" bead of rtv on the truck side of the gasket, let it set up for a few hours, and installed. No leaks in the 2 years I've had it.
The cargo lights are pretty dim, that doesn't bother me any. I hate the damn things lighting up everytime a door is opened anyway. If I need to see in the dark, a small, quality flashlight has always worked, or bed LEDs if ya have them.

There was a guy on ebay...sorry don't remember seller...that would send you a stock light tinted. When you return your oem to him he would give you like 40$ back. I think it was 80$ and after return you were only out 40 bucks. Very happy with mine....I swapped out the stock bulbs for LED's. Hated the white lens!
