Has anyone here successfully swapped the 3rd brakelight for a LED strip.. If so what vehicles has the best strip (color match to say autolumination LEDs)??

Would any LED strip work or potentially jack around with the ABS system?

Thanks

I have LED tailight bulbs (autolumination). They are badass ($25 a pop). As of now the third brake is full of regular bulbs which switch on slower and dont look as crisp as LEDs.. I want to swap in a led bar to replace the bulbs... Is there a "cheap" swap out there meaning what car our there (example: impala swap to grand am no problem) has a similar sized strip that will fill our stock housing..

What you can do is measure the housing itself and order a new bar.

from what car? Would a stock spoiler Led bar fit?

Any sources for finding these on the cheap?

Wat im saying is measure the space you have now and then you can figure what you can fit in there.

Oh come on. Man up and check it out. It just pops out of there. Half the fun in doing anything is figuring it out.
