Default Third brake light to led.

Want to replace the third brake light to one of those led ones. Is there anything me that is of good quality out there, or is the e bay ones the only ones available? Don’t really want to buy Chinese **** any more. Thanx.

The eBay ones can have issues with the LEDs going out one by one but they are DIY-fixable depending on your level of skill with a soldering iron or willingness to buy another one. The lens plastic itself on my last eBay one was decent quality/fitment.

Ok, thanks. That Rustoleum lens tint, the spray on stuff is peeling already. It’s a weird rubbery coating. Not durable at all. So I guess I’ll splurge and try the led set up.
