Well since I swapped the rear bumper I needed to figure out a new 3rd brake light. So with that I set out to find a solution. I ended up buying the Delta LED lug nut light kit.
The kit itself is barely ok... honestly its way over priced for what you get. The lights didn't fit into the lug holes, the harness leads on the light side didn't fit through the lug holes either. :naw: So I had to customize the whole thing. They supply a 4' power lead and (t-tap) :thinking: I have no idea what they think you'd do with 4 feet of wire... You should never use a t-tap. So that went in the trash.
Basically I bought it for just the LED light parts in the end since I cut the harness up and made a custom one from it.
I started by cutting down the connector boot on one side so it fit into the hole. This on took only a few minutes and of course I forgot to take a picture of it.

I had to grind the LED's down to fit into the holes, I used a Dremel to grind them down, you could do it by hand but you'll be there all day...
Once I was able to get them to fit, I made a custom hardness. I cut the factory rear tail light harness off and however I left it long enough so should I even have to reconnect it I can solder it back on easy enough.
Here's a few pics of the harness:
The LEDs are pretty bright. I'm glad I did it... but I'm giving strong consideration to building a kit and selling them. This kit could have been complete plug and play... and its not.
