Default Does anyone know the length of this (3rd break light?)

I was just wondering if this scion OEM 3rd break light is the same length at the as the GS trunkbar? If it is, this may look very unique directly above the trunk bar? thoughts?

The Scion tC brake light is sort of strange because only the middle
part of it lights up. You could probably make it fit, though.

As for luxury cars not having brake lights on the trunk,
well, that's not entirely true.

Instead of having it on the trunk. It would be nice to see it on the top of the back window with some type of lip.

I know Ive seen someone here who has that. Anyone remember who???

huh, never realized mercedes had them. the only one that came to my mind was a Cadillac. and yeah, i noticed how they all don't light up either. i thought maybe it was like the Honda Inspire where the brake light lights up proportionally to the level of brake pedal depressed.

My 94 Acura Legend Coupe has the 3rd Brake light in the trunk, I think Acura started this...The TC light would look sick in the place of the trunk bar on the GS...

Old pict of the Ack, maybe back in 02–she still going strong with only 60k on the odometer...
