Hey

Anybody attempt this.........I almost got rear ended this morning............Guy said he did not see me down there.........Dick.............

I saw a picture awhile back with a corvette 3rd brake light?

Any others or does anybody have any info on the corvette mod? Any Pictures?

Nah, but you could always mount one inside to the glass.

 

i remember seeing that picture as well. it should be fairly easy to do.

 

try going to a junk yard and finding a car with the 3rd break light mounted at the top of the rear window. take that.

splice the wires in to one side of the rear tail lights and that should do it.

as for mounting some super thing super tacky duble sided tape will do the trick.

 

...and as your car sits in the hot sun this summer, that super-sticky tape will melt.

 

Use the 3M double-sided tape that body shops use to hold plastic trim on with. Just becarful where you put it.... that stuff sticks!! Don't skimp with the cheaper stuff, like Manntis said, it'll just melt and the light will fall.

 

Since you asked.

 

 

 

hell yeah.. i was thinkiing about using a ford probe 3rd brakelight cause its on the top of the rear hatch and its angled similar to our cars....

but i want to do it like in those pics...

is that a corvette 3rd BL? if so what year?

most of my friends used 3m duble sided tape on there body kits. and i have never seen it melt. even on the hotest days here in CA.

but i can see what your getting at if its in side the car sitting in the heat. that might melt it.

 

the man with all the pictures.. (i would hate to see your hard drive)..

 

the hard drive hates seeing him, as it means more pics are bout to be stored

 

That brake light would look sweet on a car thats been modded in other visual ways, ie body kit, but on a stock FB it would ruin the lines IMO

 

I wonder if there's an inexpensive alternative source of a low, wide bank of LEDs similar to the Cadillac or NSX CMS. Say, one you could mount in the thick metal of theback of the roof (above the hatch, but keeing it flush with the body lines)

 

85gs has one in his 85 gslse. its mounted on the inside of the car, you can barely see it, actually, i didnt notice it until he pointed it out, but when he hits the brake, its like a normal light. its pretty cool.

 

Wonder if you could mod that so that you could keep the rear sprayer.

 

On my old SE, I had one molded into the rear spoiler.
88-89 Nissan 300ZX LED brake light. Looked awesome.

For this car, I am considering the one from the Oldmobile Alero. It has about the same rake and angle as the FB, and is super bright.

 

I just got a cheapo red neon license plate frame off ebay for like $15 and stuck it on and wired it to my brake lights. Granted its lower to the ground, but it still attracts attention.

ahhhhh those neon liscensce plate things are so ghetto.. even when there not lit up they look ugly as hell....

good thinking though rmd
