I got the same tail lights you got. I bought them off of tink. Now that I think about it I don't remember if they had bulbs or If I used my stockers. IDK. But I have a custom 3rd brake light made with leds. Bright as hell. Which I plan on useing much brighter leds..why because I can. So if you are worreid about people seeing you just get a bright ass third brake light!

i am getting ready to do a retrofit from a third brake light at the junk yard but i would also like people to know if i am turning so i bought this one, it uses the same led as some of the fords i looked at at my work so im sure they will be bright enough.

I had ones similar to those in my tailights, something like 15 super bright white leds in each bulb, but seeing as they don't draw enough power they act like you have blown bulbs, plus they aren't very bright.

Ok. Since you are doing your own thing in the third brake light. Then go allt eh way. Use superflux leds. Will be ur best bet. Can be found here

Here's my "own thing" with the third brake light
..by the way, still have no trouble with cops, have had this in about 10 months now..
..maybe because these are just bright, but not super bright...
