Evil Manufacturing 3rd Brake Light

Interested in knowing if anyone on here has replaced their factory third brake light On their 3rd gen with the evil manufacturing brake light. I have seen it on the raptor and it looks awesome. I understand it is not plug and play and you have to drill the roof for install with riv nuts. Interested in reading your thoughts about fit, quality, and your overall opinion - are you glad you did it or wish you hadn’t? If there are any pics of how your install turned out I would love to see those as well. Thanks!

 

Belated welcome from NY.

Thanks Jim, much appreciated. @boardude has a hell of a truck and pics are great...Noticed the EXO sign on it...awesome! My truck is a slow work in progress, but hope to have it all done by end of the year.

 

It's not that bad of an install. More of a PITA to get the stock brake light housing off lol. I dropped half the headliner to get to the nuts holding the stock housing on and once that was off it was pretty smooth. You do need to drill 4 holes which some people have an issue with, but there are tons of people on here with roof racks and you need to drill for those too lol. I added a bead of window exterior clear silicone around the housing once installed and I've never had an issue with moisture or water. There is no wire harness on the brake light, just loose wires to each LED so you'll have to modify or cut the factory harness but it's just three wires so not bad. I have a lot of mods and I would say this is at least top 5 for me. I've had more Raptor owners compliment it than Toyota owners lol. With a black wrapped roof it looks super stealthy!!

I have a bunch of install pics somewhere. I'll try to dig them up and throw on here for you.

 

Thanks for the information, really appreciate the input! You’re truck is killer and like what you’ve done...I may reach out with some other questions on other mods as I progress through my build. If you find the pics I’d love to see what/how u did it. Thanks and have a great Labor Day weekend

 

I stole these pictures from a Facebook group

 

Thank you for the kind words! Absolutely, let me know if you have any questions. Always love to help and spend other people's money
