First off grab the following tools:
phillips screwdriver
wire cutters
strippers/crimpers
red butt connectors
two GM turn signal sockets or a Ford cargo light harness.


Start by unscrewing and removing the light housing:


don't forget to unplug the harness

The light should have 3 holes for the sockets


Heres the Ford cargo harness:

I took it off and I only have one light in the middle that never comes on. where do I get the light holders with the X-locking pattern thing? I want to use it as a brake light.
-TD

That is suppose to be your 3rd brake light. Before you add the 2 extra bulbs I would find out why the original one isn't working.

^oh so it is supposed to be a brake light out of the box...
hmmm.
that sucks.
-TD

my 09 has the sockets but thay seem to be sealed?

Sealed? Mind taking a pic and posting it up here?

This mod gave me a cool idea.

Add the extra bulbs like this how to shows but wire the left & right bulbs in with the blinkers so if you have the brakes on they all light up if you turn the left blinker on the left light blinks & so on..

Running the tail light wiring would be the biggest challenge but still do-able.

^that would be pretty tight actually. I want the LED strip under the tailgate too that does that.

Why not do that and then get some or of vinyl cut out of a arrow?
