Nilight Third Brake Light for Chevy & GMC C/K 1994–2000 — Cargo Light, 26 LEDs, Plug-and-Play OEM Fit

Nilight's LED third brake light is a direct-fit, plug-and-play replacement for 1994–2000 Chevy and GMC C/K trucks, offering brighter, faster illumination and integrated cargo lighting.

If you own a Chevy or GMC C1500, C2500, C3500, K1500, K2500 or K3500 from model years 1994–2000 and your factory third brake light has dimmed or failed, this Nilight unit provides a straightforward upgrade. Built to match OEM mounting points and electrical fittings for versions that include the cargo light function, it swaps in without drilling and uses long-life LEDs for improved visibility. The assembly is designed by OEM-approved manufacturers using high-grade materials so it performs reliably in everyday driving and harsh weather.

Will this fit my 1994–2000 Chevy or GMC truck?

Yes — but confirm your truck has the cargo light function before ordering. This Nilight assembly is manufactured to replace factory part numbers 16521970 and 15030176 and mounts using the stock screw locations for a precise fit.

• Compatible models: Chevy/GMC C1500, C2500, C3500, K1500, K2500, K3500 (1994–2000)
• Requires original cargo light version — not compatible with non-cargo variants
• Designed to use factory screws and wiring harness for plug-and-play installation

How much brighter and faster are the LEDs compared to the OEM halogen?

The Nilight third brake light uses 26 integrated LEDs — 14 dedicated to brake signaling and 12 for the cargo lamp — producing much higher luminous output and quicker activation than old halogen bulbs. Faster illumination helps the vehicle behind recognize braking sooner, while LEDs also consume less power and last longer.

• 26 high-efficiency LEDs (14 brake, 12 cargo)
• Up to ten times brighter perception than aged halogen assemblies
• Rapid on/off response for clearer brake signaling

Is the light weatherproof and durable for daily use?

The housing includes a high-density foam pad and tight seals to block moisture and debris, giving the unit an IP67-level sealing approach when installed correctly. For best long-term protection, apply a bead of butyl sealant around the fixture after installation to fully secure the seal against rain, snow, and road spray.

• High-density foam backing for a close seal to the truck cab
• Sealed lens and housing resist water ingress in normal driving conditions
• Manufacturer recommends butyl sealant after mounting to ensure IP67-like protection

How difficult is installation and what comes in the box?

Installation is plug-and-play and uses the vehicle’s factory screws and wiring — no drilling required. Use a hand screwdriver rather than power tools to avoid overtightening the housing; electronic drivers can crack the casing. The package includes the LED third brake light and a high-density foam pad for mounting.

• Plug-and-play wiring compatible with factory harness
• Use factory screws (not included if they were removed) and hand tools
• Pack contents: 1 LED third brake light, 1 high-density foam pad

Who this product is for: Drivers of 1994–2000 Chevy and GMC C/K pickup trucks who want a reliable, OEM-style replacement that improves rear visibility and adds cargo illumination. It’s ideal for owners restoring an older truck, replacing a failed factory lamp, or upgrading to longer-lasting LEDs while keeping an original appearance and simple installation.
