LEDs as third brake light 120-130

posted by  someone claiming to be Erik on  Wed Aug 4 03:41 CST 2004 [RELATED]

The light will be mounted on the inside hatch flush with the top of the rear window. The wires will go through the headliner and down the side to link up with the brake light wires on the drivers side where the main rear harness is in the wagon. A small loop of only an 1 1/2 inches is needed to allow the hatch to open, no hinges to fear, no wires opening up leaks in the seals, etc. If I was able to mount it in the hatch flush with the outer body it was going to have the same wire setup as there is a hole in the top rear hatch perfect for wires. Its alot easier whan the car is stripped down to a hollow shell, it would be a pain in the ass if the headliner was attached.

I have placed aluminum tape in all of the light fixtures (easier and same effect as the chrome paint) and put in the brighter 35 watt lights and still get frequent jack asses in big SUV's skidding behind me due to tailgating and not being able to look way down for the little amazon lights while talking on the phone. Tempting to put a 1,000,000 candle power brake light on the roof but the idiots would still probably rear end me. :(
