3rd brake lights, also known as the Center High Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL) are positioned high on the vehicle to attract attention, alerting drivers behind you when you’re braking. But if your 3rd brake has incandescent bulbs your CHMSL can be improved. LEDs are particularly suited to 3rd brake light applications. Their small compact size makes them easy to group together, and when assembled in this manner, are more luminous than comparable incandescent bulbs, the brighter the light the more visible your vehicle becomes. And they rise to full intensity approximately 200 milliseconds (0.2 seconds) faster than incandescent bulbs, or about 10 times faster. This may not sound like a lot, but it may be all the time that’s needed for the driver behind you to see your brake lights and react to avoid a potential accident.

As if the safety factor wasn’t enough, these LEDs are housed in an attractive housing that will make a stylish upgrade to your vehicle’s appearance. And those LED lights are extremely durable, with an average lifespan of 50,000-336,000 hours, which means you can forget about ever having to replace them. LEDs are also extremely vibration resistant, an ideal quality for a light mounted on a motor vehicle.

Every Spyder light undergoes a rigorous testing and quality control process before it leaves the factory. All wiring is tested to make sure the light is completely functional, and the housing is sealed with high quality silicone to ensure that no moisture can become trapped inside. Please check your state regulations to make sure whether smoke lights are street-legal. Most Spyder 3rd brake lights come with comprehensive instructions to guide you through the installation, which includes detailed wiring information where applicable.

These impeccably durable Spyder lights provide outstanding performance under the most extreme temperatures ranging from -40C - +80C as well as have superior voltage protection over and under 12.8V to prevent damage caused by overloading or short circuit.

3rd Brake Light
Spyder® - Chrome/Smoke LED 3rd Brake Light
Works great, super easy to install, and is brighter than expected. Very happy with my purchase.

Cargo Light
Spyder® - Chrome/Smoke LED 3rd Brake Light
Well, the same issue as several other reviews. the cargo light doesn't work. It seems like a resistance problem. When I have my old light plugged in an on, then plug in the LED it works fine for a little while. As soon as I leave it off for more than a few minutes it won't turn on. I have to repeat the process by plugging in my old light first. Please advise if this has been addressed somewhere. Other than that I love it.

Great Unit
Spyder® - Chrome/Smoke LED 3rd Brake Light
Well packaged. Came exactly as the pictures show the product. Plug and play. Super simple and easy to install. Takes all but 5 minutes. Seals well against the cab but to be on the safe side, doesn't hurt to put an RTV clear silicone seal across the top where you're most prone for a leak. Looks awesome at night. Much brighter than stock and more visually appealing.

Cool Idea, Poor Quality
Spyder® - Chrome/Smoke LED 3rd Brake Light
This brake light looks awesome and the LED's look great at night. Unfortunately the build quality on this light is bad and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Mounting the fixture to the body of the truck I realized it sticks out much farther than the OEM light. Before I purchased the light I read multiple reviews that the plastic would crack if you over-tighten the mounting screws. Even thought I mounted the light with care I still had the plastic crack on the initial install. I feel the design of this light is defective because the screw was torqued to 5-10 inch-pounds when the plastic cracked. This seems unreasonable considering the OEM fixtures is torqued to well over 40 inch-pounds without any issues. This gasket is known to leak on dodge pickups and i find it crazy that I'm unable to properly seal this fixture to the cab without having the mounting surface crack.

Great Upgrade! Easy to Install!
Spyder® - Chrome/Smoke LED 3rd Brake Light
I got this for my 2013 Tacoma TRD Sport Double Cab. Original came off just fine. Use a plastic scraper and some goo-gone to get the original seal off. Once the area is nice and clean, I used the original screws to put the new Spyder 3rd brake light on. Fit like a glove. Simple plug and play connects. Came with some other hardware I did not need to use. Overall, the lights look great and are a huge upgrade to the boring red lens that was original. Glad I purchased!

LED 3rd Brake Light Replacement
Spyder® - Chrome/Smoke LED 3rd Brake Light
The replacement was real easy. Remove the old one, re-attach the wiring to the new light and screw in two screws. It couldn't be easier. Looks good on my truck and besides the price was right compared to the OEM replacement cost. Works just as good as the original.

Looks Good, Not Very Functional
Spyder® - Black LED 3rd Brake Light
Looks good. Matches the all ruby red/satin black color scheme I'm going for, and got rid of the ugly silver stock light. But if your looking for a functional light to illuminate your truck bed, then this isn't it. Stock one was way brighter. Get what you pay for I guess.

Looks Great
Spyder® - Black LED 3rd Brake Light
The title of the review is "looks great" because that's exactly how it looks. Really sets off the black on black look. I wish I could upload a picture to emphasize that point. LED cargo lights and brake lights are sufficiently bright. Looks get a 5 out of 5 stars. The reason I purchased this third brake light is because it is the only third brake light on the market for the 2015 F150 with a black housing and clear lens. The clear lens is a must for those who live in states where smoke/tinted lights are illegal and want to remain DOT compliant. However, I do have a few complaints with this product. Firstly, the gasket installed on the light seems very cheap next to the OEM gasket on the OEM third brake light. Secondly, you can't get the light to completely butt-up flush against the cab which is just an OCD thing of mine. The gap is less than that of a paperclip. Third, the guide pins to align the light are slightly off. It takes some force to push the light into place. Lastly, the light harness which plugs into to the OEM harness was a PITA to get in. I had to cut the Christmas tree bracket to pull out the stock harness and forcefully push the new harness in. Install process gets a 3 out of 5 since I felt it should've been easier to install for what it is. Quality gets a 4 out of 5 stars. Averaging out the looks, quality, and complaints give it a 4 out of 5 star in my book. The installed product is 100% worth it based on the few days I've had it in.

Instructions Not Included!
Spyder® BKL-TT07-LED-SM - Black/Smoke LED 3rd Brake Light
From looking at your stock 3rd brake light, it looks simple. Light came with no instructions, so I called the support number, the “person” who took my call insisted that the cover comes off and I would be able to see the screws. The new light attaches like the original that most people wouldn’t thought of, the headliner has to come down so depending on your model Tundra you will have to remove the pillar trim and dome light. The factory sockets wouldn’t stay in the new light, so I had to put a drop of silicon to make sure they wouldn’t fall out after I installed it (would require dropping the headliner again). It looks great and works fine, just probably more labor intensive then most would think.
