Default What are my 3rd brake light options?

I ordered a 3 piece wing thats coming in next week so I'm removing the factory with LED. Question is, what other options are there than using the 3rd light in the rear deck? I have that there too, but removed it long ago and dont want to use it. Has anyone integrated theres into their 3 piece or in there trunk? thanks

Any suggestions here for third break light? Apparently theres a retarded law here in Cali in regards to requiring a third break light and even though its not strongly enforced, I'd like to stay away from any activity involving the five oh. As stated above, I dont want to use the factory one; has anyone with a 3 piece wing done any type of mod to their wing to hold a break light of any sort?

Thanks

Just thought... what you think about installing red puddle light styled lights on the trunk right above the trunk bar, or in the trunk bar? or maybe on license plate frame *thinking to self*

Add an MK4 LED 3rd brake light onto your trunk like a few others on here have done.

Does it go ON the trunk lid, or cut hole and place in it?

Pics?

SoCalSC4's GS... It would look a ton better if the Chrome bar was painted OEM car color...



GammaLex's, not Supra but you get the idea... I would keep it around 6"-8"

Holy WOW! I was thinking this first but though it might be dumb... I like this A LOT!!! I think I found a winner

Anyone want to chime in on how to do this? Meaning, if its on the inside of the window, how do I stick it on since the led's need to be pointed back? thanks all
