You were left behind.


If you push the rear glass release button on your tailgate the glass will open. Open it all the way and on the back of the upper portion of this open piece you will see two screws about the width of the light apart center aligned. Undo those and the light will come down. There's a cable to connect the light up there too you can remove the light entirely if you want.

If you want pictures I can shoot some.

Yeah the light is easy to get to but the wiring it is hooked to is a little different story but still not too bad.

Depending on the color of your TBSS you can get vinyl to match for the rear reflectors. Its a low cost solution and truly covers them up.

Hey Steve! The rear reflector overlays posted above sell starting @ $4. While I cant match every color SS, I do have a few that match. For $6, we offer both tinted and reflective overlays also.

As for the 3rd brakelight, we have overlays for that also. You can choose from a selection of opaque ones with stuff cut into them(SS, Trailblazer, Trailblazer SS, pretty much anything you can come up with...) so only that area lights up, or, you can get solid, tinted overlays too. If you wish to see these overlays, feel free to click my signature at the bottom of this post. It will take you to our products page. My email address is also in my sig, you can contact me there if your PMs are still not working.

Thanks!

Todd, dumb question - Do you/ can you also make overlays for the entire (left and right) brake lights?

If they were flat, yes. Stock tails, no. The bumps would make life suck.
