Third Brake Light

Post by juvius »

I can only take partial credit for this because i welded it in. but the credit goes to SoFloFiat for making this for me. Let me know what you think... I'm sure Alan would like the feedback as well. I guess i won't be able to smooth it out with filler until tuesday, but i think it looks damn good already... my camera wouldn't take an accurate picture of the light lighted up... but it looks a lot crisper than that...

Your solution is very elegant. I took a simpler solution (for me) -- A ready made third brake light. Simple wiring and one drilled hole.

I bought it from Susquehanna MotorSports:
