Looks good man! What bulbs did you end up using for the hvac? I tried it with blue ones and it only lit up right where the bulbs are. I'm planning on going with the ones that have like 12 LEDs on them when I get around to it.

Got a Viper 5901 alarm installed today! Only thing I don't really like is the antenna on the driver side top left corner. Blue light is blinding.

Alright, I got my LED 3rd brake light in, and it didn't come with instructions. I took the 3rd brake light off and it has wires going into the cab, now, how do I get my ceiling to come down enough so I can unplug the brake light and plug in my new one?

I'll have to check, I don't want to bend the cardboard or whatever it is. There is also a white seal which the cables run through into the cab.

When I put my LED brake light in. I took off the interior side trim and took out the plastic clips for the headliner. I bent it down just enough to unplug the former light and hooked speaker wire to the old connection so I could fish the new one back in. Bending the headliner (crease) did not show after total install. I have a SuperCab

I don't think I'd be able to fish this wire through, I might have to take out that white thing in order to push the whole connector through.

Jake, I'll sell you mine once I figure out how to replace it.

Just installed the brake light, on the left side, it looks like some of the LED's aren't getting much power and are somewhat lit up, and it was a pain trying to get the plug to reach and connect. Also, the right side of the light seems to fit better than the left side and it's bugging me, and I also had to cut off the white silicone plug in order to take out the wire of the stock brake light, so I now have to get some silicone and close up the hole.
