sorry for not replying, I put your message in my Inbox and no new messages
come in, so I forgot, anyways here's the info on what I did
I pulled my 3rd brake light out of the tailgate, and pulled the lights out.
Took the light to the local sign shop and had them make a "DODGE" sticker
the size that I needed to fit the light.
Took everything home and took a scotch-brite pad and "scuffed" the tail
light to give the paint something to adhear to. If nothing else at least
wipe it down real good. After that I applied the sticker. I got lucky, my
last two trucks have been black so I got some semi-gloss black paint and
sprayed the light black. If you don't have a black truck, you could go to a
auto paint store. Most will mix your trucks color in a spray bomb. This is
what Frank G. did and it looks great. His truck is forest green.
anyways, I pulled the sticker off, and wholla --- a "DODGE" brake light. It
looks pretty cool. anyways install the light and you are set. I've had
mine through snow, salt, ice, you name it, it's seen it, and it has held up
flawlessly.
any ?'s let me know
