Custom LED High Mount Third Brake Light Module
#46
I recently bought one. Overall, I'm happy with the upgrade. But once the diffuser is installed, it doesn't make all the LEDs uniform (if that makes sense). If I look straight from the back, a few of the bottom LEDs are dimmer (due to the patterns on the diffuser). Does anyone else have this issue? My LS430 is an 06.

So i just came across this mod today. My only question is, does it error out the self-check and require in line resistor? Because i have tried single-bulb LED solutions for the 3rd brake light and it errors out with a Red Triangle icon thinking that its burned out.
If this doesn't fail the self-check i may have to look into getting one myself.

It's been a couple years, but I believe I placed the diffuser in front of the LED panel. I remember the perimeter of the light panel just fit inside the light housing. I adjusted the panel to get it perfectly horizontal in the light assembly. I may have used a small strip of tape to hold it in place.

Looks like this mod works best with 04-06 possibly. I just got mine in the mail today and installed it into my 2003 LS 430. Starts up without a warning but chimes a Tailamp Failure and red-triangle as soon as i hit the brakes. My search continues...

I'll contact them to see if they have any ideas. But i don't see much recourse. Plain and simple the circuit isn't seeing the correct voltage or something and throwing a failure warning.
