Default LED THIRD BRAKE LIGHT

Any experience with these type of lights, are they all just plug and play trouble free mod??
Just looking to see what people have experienced before I purchase a unit on Ebay. THANKS!

I have a 2008 and tried one from Stangmods and lethal performance. Both remained dimly lit when the brake was off, even when the car was off. I returned both of them.

if you have an 07 or newer, you need a resistor to stop the dimming from happening.Did it to my 3rd brake light.Simple splice in.
