custom third brake light

within the next few months ill have my cf trunk. im not sure which one, but what i do know is it wount have a spoiler and i dont plan on adding one, problem is i have a spoiler know and of course it has the third brake light in it. and as far as i know its illegal to not have one. so im gonna hev to add one.

theres plenty of options out there. im thinking something along the lines of mayeb a long caddy style above the rear window. or maybe just a simple stock rear window. i havent decided yet.

question is. if i have a spoiler brake light are the wires already up in the rear deck unused or do i have to extend soem wired from my spoiler style one.

and is there gonna be an issue if i add a stock window light and i have the bose sub?. ive never seen someone with both before.

thanks all!

I have CF hood, fenders and now trunk, same as you I lost spoiler.
I used a LED strip similar to this item for sale:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Hella...00258041QQrdZ1

Stuck in my rear portion of headliner, and centered nicely.
Wiring was easy enough.

I will take some pics tonite if I can.
