Cxdar Third 3rd Brake Light LED for 2004-2012 Chevy

Cxdar's third brake light is a direct-fit, waterproof LED high-mount stop lamp made to replace the center cab cargo lamp on 2004–2012 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon trucks.

Designed as a like-for-like upgrade for older Colorado and Canyon models, this LED assembly modernizes your truck's rear signaling with brighter, low-power illumination and a weather-resistant build. The unit features a dual-row LED array in a sealed ABS housing rated to IP65, so it resists rain, dust and road spray while matching factory mounting points and connector configurations for most model years listed.

Will this brake light fit my Chevy Colorado or GMC Canyon?

This Cxdar assembly is made to plug into the original center cab brake light location for model years 2004 through 2012. It follows the original mounting footprint and connector style used on those trucks so no cutting or splicing should be necessary when replacing a like-for-like lamp.

• Compatible model years: 2004–2012 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon
• Direct-fit design matches OEM mounting points and connector
• Meant as a replacement for the center high-mount stop lamp

How durable and weather resistant is the lamp?

The housing uses impact-resistant ABS plastic and a sealed lens rated IP65, which protects the LED array from water spray, dust and light road contaminants. That rugged construction helps the lamp resist cracking and premature failure in typical driving conditions.

• IP65-rated sealing against water and dust intrusion
• ABS housing and sturdy lens for impact and UV resistance
• Sealed cover reduces corrosion risk for internal circuitry

How easy is it to install and use?

Installation is designed to be plug-and-play for compatible trucks: the assembly connects to the factory wiring harness and mounts into the original location. Hand tools and careful handling of the plastic cover are recommended; professional installation is suggested if you want guaranteed fit and to avoid cracking the lens.

• Plug-and-play connection to the factory harness
• Use hand screwdriver and gentle handling to avoid cover damage
• Professional installation recommended if unsure

What performance improvements can I expect?

The dual-row LED layout delivers brighter, more consistent brake illumination compared with many aging incandescent assemblies while consuming less power. Improved visibility can make your vehicle easier to notice in traffic, especially in low-light or wet conditions.

• Dual-row LEDs provide even, high-visibility stop light output
• Lower power draw than traditional bulbs for electrical efficiency
• Longer operational life than standard incandescent lamps

Who is this for: This Cxdar 3rd brake light is intended for owners of 2004–2012 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon trucks who want a durable, brighter replacement for the center high-mount stop lamp.
