does anyone know of a thinner alternative to our brake lights. im mounting my amp betweeen my rear spakers in the backseat and the brake light is in the way. only the top half mind you. the bottom will fit more or less perfect like just fit, but the top half wont let it fit.

i need an alternative for a brake light, and spoilers are out. you guys have any ideas. im open for suggestions, i want it to look good. and when i get tints you wont be able to see it so hopefully no theft.

 

I have been thinking about replacing my high mount brake light with an LED bar brake light. I saw a new 350Z today and was thinking about getting the high mount for one of those and mounting it along the bottom of my rear window on the rear deck.

My reason for doing this is beacause i have replaced all my rear signal and brake bulbs with LED's and now if I do the high mount stop with LED's then they all will be converted.

Hope this helped.

 

hmm a link to what you are talking about may help, but i think u are thinking along one of my ideas also. please elaborate im interested

 

I'd like to have a long, thin brake light bar along the top of my windshield and totally remove the bottom mounted (stock) one.

 

Well. let me go search pictures and sites for a minute and I will get back in here and edit with the links.

Possibly installing something like this:

What do you think?

 

Ooooh, I like the last 2. Now, if we think of a way to mount them whether on the deck or on the ceiling...drill and screws anybody? lol

 

hmmmm how to get them ont he back, u can do adhesive but those bars are huge i want sumthing liekt he size of the light there i might have to cut and change the current mount. i just need to make the top of it smaller

 

hmm...so you have worked with leds before right???i say u mount one red bar on each C pillar and use those as the brake lights instead...

 

Mike,
When we swap trunks.. we can swap out the rear deck too.. so that I have a third brake light (to stay leagal).

 

you really cant mess with the moutning of a third brake light on a car. it has to pretty much stay there where it is now.

 

Sure you can. You can take out the whole rear deck, along with the third brake light and recarpet it and it would look like it was never there, but you need SOME type of alternative 3rd brake light ie. spoiler.

 

i know that but i mean there are legal measurements of where they can be. lol, likeu cant have your third brake light under ur license plate lol

 

LMAO! Oh, yeah I know. I also don't think you can place them vertically either, well "legally" lol

 

there are no real legal restrictions.. heehe.. long as u have sumthign in the middle between your two taillights.. u can even cut out and put it into teh trunk... long as it works.. when u press the brake.. that badboy has to light up...


yea. but ur rite.. you can place it like on ur hood on anything...

i made mine into a led light there..i used the factory thing.. u know the little doohicky that mounts onto the rear deck.. i opended it up and put a row of .. 5 big leds in there. looks like the g35 rear deck mountedlight.. its pretty nice.. very responsive to the brake.. hehe

its not so mmuch making led thats a prob i can do that with no rpobs its just that its to big. stupid tailight

 

well yea you can get hte bars frokm ebay.. and put it between the rear windshield and the interior ceiling ...or get a spoiler with led...

 

some how i need to have the rear of the tail light the top be flush with the bottom and it will fit so i need to make a few precise cuts, and then ill make it led with a piece of pci board me thinks hand have like 3 rows of red leds. OMG thatll be so bright especially the leds i buy. o man. i need you guys to help brainstorm me sum i deas on how i can do that.

o and i decided that until i get tinted ima make a cover to go over the amp and make it look like a third speaker so now one goes o look and rf amp lol
