To be completely honest, this install was one major PITA, but I eventually got it done. You're going to need some extra patience and this video to help you out. Great video, I used it to coach me along the way.

Happy it helped.

I've been delaying the install of mine for a few weeks. Worried about messing up the headliner and having a water leak. This video gave me way more confidence. Next sunny day I'll give it a try. Thanks

[@infosponge]

Happy to help, good luck with the install.

Been dreading replacing that 3rd brake light for weeks. This video definitely will do the trick on replacing it. Thanks for a great detailed video.

[@infosponge]

Good luck!

Wouw! Very nice! Thanks ☺️

[@infosponge]

No problem

[@joshuahinojosa2103]

Thanks bro best video found thanks for all the tips. Question is the brake light brighter then the oem ?

[@infosponge]

No problem, the leds are pretty darn bright!

That 10mm to 8mm change on the nut sizes used was super ultra, mega, extremely, pointlessly ridiculous. Especially when you're considering needing deep sockets. Gawd damn

[@infosponge]

I just used the factory 10mm nuts.

[@Nordic_Goon]

Glad I hadn't gone out to grab an 8mm deep socket 3/8" drive. I just saw towards the end, that you checked the threads. Than you for that! ​@@infosponge

Just as a heads up I returned this third brake light as the female port for the power was the incorrect size. I have a 2023 Tacoma Sport and the male connector would not lock which caused the light to flutter. Maybe Toyota changed the size but I now have been thru 2 lights from 2 different vendors and waiting on a third. Any help would be appreciated.

My truck is a 2016. I’m not sure if it changed. Did you try posting the question on one of the forums?

[@tacosan9256]

I have mine ordered from Tacoma Lifestyle- my light was replaced for the recall but it’s cracked all to hell and what do you know, water stains on my headliner Looking forward to this install

[@infosponge]

They work well, just don't overtighten the bolts.

[@JAMESP-gt2iz]

I goofed up and set my switch opposite what I wanted, can I get to it from the inside or do I have to pull out the whole housing? Thanks

[@infosponge]

You can try but I think you will need to uninstall it, sorry.

[@JAMESP-gt2iz]

@@infosponge Thanks! Maybe they could have thought of a better way? lol

[@RobbieAndRae]

All that just to remove that third brake light man!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@infosponge]

Not the easiest thing to get off 😕
