Third Brake Light Delete
Is there any covers that are sold to go in place of the third(high mount) brake light?
My brake light rattles way to much from my sub. now I just want to take it off and be done with it.

This is something I certainly wouldn't do:

Who cares if its illegal its dangerous to you and your awesome ride. Most distracted people notice you brake because of the third brake light and not the other lights also since its a low car higher suvs/trucks only notice this light too.
solution: try using some deadening material on the underside and surrounding areas near the light like dynomat or whatever brand you like, the aluminium mats sold at home depot for sealing roofs or whatever work too search a little to make sure which to get exactly.
You can also look around on the underside to see if there is some way to screw it down and make it firmer some how.
If you find solution other than removal post it here, im getting my 15inch sub installed soon and prob will run into same prob as you.

If your center brake light is rattling, take it to your nearest Lexus Service Center and have them repair it. In this case it would be a simple fix they may not charge you for. If they do decide to charge you, you're better off installing the foam yourself.

To OP: Highly recommend NOT to "delete" your third brake light. Some people may not be able to tell when you're braking at night!
