Best LED 3rd Brake Light???
I am wondering what the best LED 3rd brake light is. I want the brightest light with the brake and cargo lights as possible at a competitive price (not looking for the cheapest or most expensive, just the best for the price).
Any advice is appreciated as I am about to order one to replace the factory unit (which is cracked ((I replaced all bulbs with LED's)) due to loaning my truck to my wife's friend to move furniture ((her 18 yr old kids hit it)) which will NOT happen again!
Thanks:

I have this one, the center brakelight section is LED and I added 921 cree w16w bulbs for the cargo lights. It gets the job done!

I have the same one but, smoked .. same LEDs. Works like a champ.. I think I paid $40ish shipped.

Do not over tighten it when installing..they will crack real easy. Just snug will work.

How do you install these? Just got mine, and I guess I assumed they'd be plug and play. I was planning to straight swap mine. It has one wire hanging off the new one. Do you need to get new outside bulbs? What am I missing here?

Ok, thanks, I got it. It fits really snug and so far doesn't really snap, but it lights up, so I'll continue to work it. I was confused because I was looking for that whole harness to go away.
