CHMSL / Third Brake Light LEDs

[JJRamTX]

You can try these. Will work for both brake light and cargo. I did mine week before last and it looks great. No codes generated, and about 8 bucks for a pkg of four.

* Update * My $8 package of these LEDs just started flickering, so they lasted right around 6-7 months... Probably going to go with either SuperBrightLEDs or Diode Dynamics now.

Mine have failed also. Went with DD.

I've never had a problem with DD

Highly recommend both SB LED's and DD...can't go wrong with either.

No errors on dash when switching to the LEDs?

Nope. Even with the cheap chinese Amz ones (which I’ve since replaced with DD bulbs).

As @Neurobit stated above...no errors on dash when switching to the LEDs. Regardless of bulb type, you should not get any errors...but I suggest a high quality bulb that will last and has a great reputation. SuperBright LEDs and Diode Dynamics are a great choice but Amazon has some very good bulbs as well.

Was optimistic that I may get lucky, bought LASFIT LEDs. Turned out to have same issue as everyone.

Maybe buy only white LEDs from LASFIT and other from Diode dynamics?

I am returning all of mine. Not worth saving $60 to find a work around for the key fob on a $66k truck.

Got my Diode Dynamics bulbs in the mail today, put them in in about 5 minutes. Very happy with the result with a nice white light that is the perfect brightness. Before and after below of the bed lights, only got after of the brake light but it seems to be an improvement.

Update, I decided the check the third brake light to see if it was still working and it was burned out. Not sure how ling it's been out but I put a hologen back in until I can get a new one. The bed lights are still working perfectly fine.
