Help! POS 3rd brake light.

[The.lost.road]

So, We all know the 3rd gens have a shitty 3rd brake light. And of course it begins to leak after 30k miles. The only decent after market 3rd Bk light i can find is Meso custom. But they’re over priced and never in stock. Any one know of another brand out there?

Thanks

Dirt Kartel makes one but it requires you drill into the cab and the welds are piss-poor.

It hasn’t leaked yet? Dude the moment you see it leak get it replaced. If its after 30,000 Toyota wont replace it under warranty. I just used clear silicon around the edges. Cheapest fix. If you let it go, it will corrode the wire harness to the light. And that light is a pain in the ass to take out. The whole head liner has to come down. Ive heard of tons of people on Tacoma world and facebook groups having this leaking issue.

Damn that looks sweet. Too bad the quality isn’t there. With all the after market support for everything. I’m surprised there aren’t more options with such a known problem.

Just looked into it, $225 bucks for the bracket. And $112 for the Baja light.

Well, I have the canopy so mine isn't really easy to get to ATM...I'll do some checking though.
