3rd Brake Light Weatherstripping/Seal
Mine (for a 04 Cab) is falling apart. Anyone have one to sell me? I understand the dealership does not sell them separately without the entire light assembly.

I think they used to have a smoked version, didn't see that, I believe that is what I have from them ... You could inquire.

That is pretty cool! How much is the oem unit? I will need a LED version to go with my new LED taillights! (Waiting with fingers crossed!)

Wouldn't that potentially cause water to get into the housing?

Good to know, thanks! What are the differences?

I didn't take any measurements, just know I tried two times to install the LED light and it didn't fit correctly. Perhaps you can just get some gasket material and make your own...

Did you make that? If so, could you post DIY instructions?
