The 6 LED light doesn't look good to me at all.

I found a 10 LED that looks much better. I wanted to find one that was red, kind of like stock but no luck. This Is the one I have coming. I'll get some LED's for the cargo lights, and probably the reverse lights while I'm at it.

I also wanted smoked but, I would settle for a chrome one. I would scuff the frame and paint it body color but, I can't even find someone with those in stock. I'll have to check wheelzngrillz. I tried a bunch of places.

I found mine on Amazon. It was $61 shipped, It's in NJ as of today, could be delivered as early as tomorrow. Now the page says that it is unavailable.

I saw them on quite a few sites and could always add them to cart, just do a nice search. Here are a few from a quick search, somebody should have one for you.

Well, the 3rd brake light came and fits. Looks really good lit at night, matches the tails. But taking pictures of lights at night doesn't exactly work too well.
