Center brake light - Pickup
My '93 lacks one. I saw another regular cab pickup with the same graphic, same steel wheels, and it had the center light. Did they add it in a certain year? I thought the third brake light was mandated for all vehicles in 1986...

Not sure about the Yota P/U's but I know that there are a few '95 Runners around here that don't have the light while I do...not sure what package it came with though.

I think it may have depended on
where your vehicle was originally sold and / or the birthday of your vehicle . my friends 92 had it and my 94 does but these were canadian market trucks and the rules are different. The thing just bolted on to the roof of the cab with a 2 screws. the wire to feed it ran under the headliner. ( i think it went to the cab light on the xtra cab and was bundled there with the other wires going to the fuse block. so if you really want one it would probably be easy to throw on. Cheers Aviator
Ps so far as the mandate thingy the rules for trucks are different to the rules for cars. Like trucks did'nt used to have to have damn air bags but since the 95 model year ^#$^*^air bags are in. Thank god i don't have one.

It's an odd thing... Why make two roofs? Seems like if a Canuck '92 would have it, my US '93 would. A couple of you mentioned that yours bolted on, and it could simply be added, but the '90-'95 trucks I have seen with it have a little hump at the back of the roof with the light in it. Mine has no hump...

im pretty sure if you have one, you can just unbolt it. if i had something to put in its place, a thin cover and bolt it up to cover the exposed area, i'd take mine off.

94 was the first year. I bought the last 93 on a dealers lot (Nov 30th 93) because I didn't want a 94 with the brake light. On the early 94's the brake light housing wasn't even paint body color, it was just gray. But by mid 94 through mid 95 (and the introduction of the Tacoma) the housing was painted body color to look a little less obtrusive.
