Maybe I am losing my mind. Maybe I never cut the connector off... tell me like I'm an idiot where the connector should be and how to find it? Pull the headliner?
Its funny you say that im now wondering if the previous owner actually cut the connector off on the truck side or if he actually cut the wires off right at the factory 3rd brake light instead, im now thinking the later. I actually just bit the bullet and ordered the GJ with BD S2 sports from @4x4TruckLEDs.com (after just saying it was to expensive..haha). Rather buy once and cry once!

Jason Walton in the Gen 1 FB group: Ballin on a budget 3rd brake light. Mine quit working so I Made this from what I had left over from my RTT trailer build.

He was working on making a 3D printed version rather than aluminum

This was posted last week by Emilio Mayo in the same Gen 1 FB group but he never posted a link or how he did it:

There are also hundreds that bought Recon, Anzo and other after market brands that were very unhappy. Sure there are some good after market one's but I'm just one that likes staying true to the 100% stock Raptor look.
Stock anything
SUCKS.

The older you get the more you'll realize aftermarket stuff is more often than not overpriced Chinese junk and OEM are much better engineered and produced parts, even if they come out of China too. I'll take all your stock Raptor parts you don't want :)

You can keep the stock running boards all you like, the RPG rock sliders are so much better in every way.
