Doesn't fit 23 MAVs. Maybe not others also?

it says on Amazon it doesn’t fit but I just installed it in my 23 Mav hybrid and it fit fine.

Good to know

It says it doesnt fit the 2025 but Im going to give it a shot. Sounds like others had no issues.

Just an FYI, the white one is cheaper (That is the one I put in). The lens cover is already red.

My thanks to all for this info - I came here looking for this. My Lasfit brake and one of the cargo lights have burned out or malfunctioned after just over a year, and they cost quite a bit more. Of course it was on *after* I installed them, I read about others have their Lasfit's burn out young. I'm ordering these tonight and hopefully they'll last a bit longer...

Can confirm, brake and cargo lights fit and work fine on the MY25, no codes at all. Max 10 minute job, 8 minutes of that spent screwing and unscrewing the brake/cargo light assembly.

Just be precise when reinstalling-- I've read elsewhere here that the brake light assembly can be an entry way for water if the seal gasket isn't flush from the factory... or your mods.

Bottom line: really happy to have at least one brake light be a flasher!

I got my cloudy cataracts removed and my vision corrected. The factory lights are plenty bright for me now.

I did the same mod for my 3rd brake light on the cab. While I had the lens cover off I also replaced the bed lights with LEDs ... much brighter. First say the strobe brake light on a Subaru and thought, "That's a heck of a good idea".

Can someone help me understand why these are so cheap but you can't get backup light replacements for less that $50? I mean, the cargo lights and the backup lights are just on or off so what am I missing?

Keep in mind that with the brake/flashing signal lights you're replacing an incandescent bulb with an LED. Those incandescent bulbs blink on/off at an interval dictated by the amount of resistance to the circuit. LED's have much less resistance, so they will blink much faster (hyper flash). So that the replacement LEDs will blink at a normal speed, manufacturers add resistance to the bulb. That's why they're more expensive than an LED bulb you're using to replace a light that doesn't flash, i.e., cargo lights and backup lights.

Comment was other way around.

Why are these replacement LED bulbs that have the extra programming to flash on initial brake press cheaper than replacement LED bulbs for backup lights that merely need to remain on?

Not sure I've seen the incandescent bulbs blink on/off at any interval anyway.

The manual sure appears to say it's the same bulb for both.
So perhaps you could use these initial flashing ones for reverse lights - probably no big whoop to have 3 flashes on initiating backup - might even be useful to get other's attention.
And the cargo lamp while different size - is covered by the item in discussion here. 912.

Yes, I understand. Maybe I wasn't clear but my question is around backup lights specifically. They don't flash so no additional resistance should be needed - but yet, they are more expensive that those labeled "cargo" lights. This is the part I don't fully understand.
