Headlights and Cargo Light Help
I am looking to upgrade my poor old lights to something extremely bright and effective for me to see at night.
Also any leads on a bright cargo/3rd brake light setup

I didn't like what was offered for aftermarket 3rd brake/cargo lights so I bought some LED boards with the wedge base and glued them into the light for cargo and 3rd brake. They are way brighter and run cooler. Now my 3rd brake and cargo light is very very bright.
This is what I used, but it's a discontinued product. Could probably find a similar product somewhere.

I also installed this truck bed light kit for even more lighting. Wired directly to the cargo light harness in the 3rd brake light.

I'm always impressed with how much light and how nice it is compared to the stock cargo lights.

For brighter headlights I suggest reading this recent thread discussion about powering the headlights with a relay harness kit.
