Adding a third brake light to 88-93s

[Lifted92]

On ebay third brake lights say they are for 88-98s but my 92 just has a chrome cargo light in the back, is it possible to add one of these third brake lights? Will they even bolt up?

Any update on this? I'm in the same boat with my 91 ECSB. I want to add a third brake light for safety reasons. I wonder if there's a brake light wire available on the 88-94 up where my cargo light is.

I'd love to be able to get something like this: https://www.lmctruck.com/1988-98-chevy-gmc/cd-1994-98-led-third-brake-cargo-light

No wire from the factory, chmsl or third brake lights weren't required on light trucks until m/y 94. (86 for cars)

Just put a 96 cap on a 96 C1500.
Anyone know what I'll have to do to wire the third brake light ?

Run a wire from your brake lights. I have shells for all four of my trucks and I installed a LED third light with turn signals, so I ran wires for both.

With one brake light on an older truck I don't think you can go from a combo brake / turn signal without the third light flashing.
I was just thinking of two separate lights so I'd have two turn signals and two brake lights up there.
I think newer trucks have a dedicated brakelight wire for the third brakelight on a cap.

Run a wire from third to third.

Run a wire from third to third.

Thanks.
Sounds simple.
Like me.

They make LED third brake lights for camper shells with turn signals. I have it on all four of my shells. I can't find it on Amazon at the moment......

As par the course currently, it's out of stock......but this is what I have on camper shells and they haven't given me any trouble....
