Third brake light solution?
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hey fellow ten gens, ive been havin trouble with my cargo/third brake light again.... Due to the fact that i leave my doors open for long periods of time, and have to brake alot the crap sockets for the lights have melted and i need a solution.....preferably in the way of an LED replacemnt light. Anybody have any LED replacements they like and thatll replace to whole harness? Heres the problemo:

Just get a new bulb holder or harness and put LED bulbs in

Yeah thatll work...ill see if i can find one somewhere. How much light do those LEDs put out back there?

Thats not too bad, ill look around and see what i can see... I work in the bed alot at night so the more light the better

More than the incandescents used to put out, I did the interiors to and here's a comparison to give you an idea

After, you can see how much more light actually shines on the floor now
