A few weeks ago at work I replaced a 3'rd brake light in a VW Rabbit, so obviously the first thing that came into my mind was to build the led's into a Ranger 3'rd brake light.
Parts
Soldered stock plug onto LED strip and tested it out.
Cut out the lens backing to make room for the led's. And flattend out the section that separated the center and side bulb areas to have somewhere to glue the strip onto, level and securely.
Cut 3 led's of either side of the strip to fit into the Ranger lens and glued the led's into the len's with 2-part plastic cement.
Taped-up the back of the lamp to keep out dirt and keep too much red light from glowing into the interior light.
