  • LED swap for the back third brake light

    Ok...Found a 50 led back brake light off of Ebay (of all places!).
    Just do a search for universal third brake light and you will see it.






    I then dremel'd the housing so it fit in there.







    I tucked the extra long wires into the now vacant bulb holes.






    I took the old housing and snapped off the harness.




    Then soldiered the wires to it....




    Wrap it up!




    Whallllla!!

            Better than my 3 led bulbs.
            Looks like I'll be pulling mine apart again. Then I can glue the shit out of it to stop rattles.

                When searching for the LED bar, were you looking at any dimensions or light output specifically?

                      That looks good man. I have an extra third brake light from the 09.5 trunk I bought to get the spoiler, I might try this but I want some cool sedan taillights first.

                        I used the 11.5" X 1.181" one. Double row of 50 leds. If ya cant find it I can go look and post a link to one.
                        I just hate ebay links on here cause they dont last.

                          Thats it. The small post that hold the bracket can be cut off easy cheesy.

                          I prolly spent a good half hour dremmeling to get it to fit in the housing but its totally doable.
                          Just be patient and you can get the lens to snap down & fit flush on it.
