Default Is this a stupid Idea

I want to take the LED brake light out of the spolier of a the firehawk and put it into the trans am spoiler on my bird (in place of the original 3rd brake light) does anyone think it would look good or is it even possible (I would photoshop my idea but I am not that talented)
