Default LED 3rd Brake light project
I have been working on making a LED 3rd brake light for a while. Well I just finished and wanted to see what you guys think of it.

This is with the factory bulbs


The LED's


The finished project

Looks good! A lot better than the two bulbs!

I have seen a few clear/Euro 3rd brake lights on ebay and other places but I think they look to ricey!

I have seen the euro ones and didn't light them at all. I like the stock appearance with a suprise when I stop.

Everything should be LED. I don't think any manufacturer should build cars with bulb brakes or blinkers ever again.

Looks great, nice mod.

The idea of it saying something has been toss around. My roomate wants one to say 'SS'. I think that will be my next one. If it works the possibilities are endless.

Looks good and adds additional safety against all the blind bastards that still drive.


I added a third brake light to my 69. I recessed mine so when it is not in use it is almost impossible to see.

I got the LEDs from a supplier in china. I can't find anyone in the States that have ones bright enough.
