Which one did you get? How did you wire it up? How is it holding up for you? Any issues with water ingress or condensation? Something like: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007382985444.html I damaged my OEM center spoiler and the OE part is $550, so wondering if the 3p light bar might be a better option. Thanks!

I have aftermarket tail lights and they condensate a bit, but not to the point where you see full drops just a little cloudy. Seller said it was normal 🤷‍♂️ doesn’t happen often only after heavy rain. I would take something like B6000 and seal the sides and every point where water could get in.

Thank you! Separately, do you know if it's possible to just splice the brown and black wire to the existing third brake light harness instead of also splicing into the tail lights? Thanks!

Personally, I’m not sure my tail lights just plugged in. Does this one require you to splice? I’d hope it just has something similar to a T connector to just plug in. If not though, you probably could just splice into the third brake light, just double check everything with a multimeter first. And also, not 100% sure if the brake light could handle extra lights on its circuit, but it’s LED so probably fine
