Default Roof spoiler/LED brake light mod

Took a while to complete it. My dremel has never seen that much use in years! I did it myself after a few shops quoted me $400-$500 for the mod, without paint!

It's a learn as you go DIY project, but I like the way it turned out.

That's BAAAAAD AZZZZZZ!! You should just ditch the third on your trunk and use the window light as your primary brake light. I'm sure you could somehow fabricate it to blend in with the spoiler...

Pretty neat. Except it's a huge pet peeve when people put on spoilers and then have 2 third brake lights. I just hate that.

Everything ran roughly $175...The trunk brake light will be unplugged, I was just doing a vid to see if it was bright enough to remove it. I will also have to see how bright the LED's are n the daytime.

Spoiler was $120
LED's $30
Misc (wires, paint, sandpaper,) $25

It's a generic ebay roof spoiler.

I already made custom LED tails for my 2000 Monte, which took a while! That'll be a summer project.
