Well, as I stated in my last post, I can't get GM to warranty the $450 LED third brake light that went out due to moisture in it that corroded the circuit board. They offered to pay $150 of it, but that's not squat for a part that should last for years.
So, I think that I have come up with an alternate solution. I had the light out the other day and it appears that it is two halves that are sonic welded together. I plan on taking it apart and mounting some of the white LED strips from the auto parts store inside of it, rewire it, and seal it back up. My question though is on the wiring of it. When removing the light, the main plug is on the left hand side, and there is another plug where the circuit board is. There are also wires that tee off at the plug for the circuit board that go back into the cab of the truck. Anyone know what those wires are for? And if I will need to make sure the impedence load is the same with the new strips? Since my circuit board is fried, how can i find out what that load should be?
