Winged to wingless. 3rd brake light help.
Hey guys, i just recently decided to ditch the wing on my 1998 SC3. So i went ahead and bought the subwoofer cover/3rd brake light, popped in fresh bulbs, plugged it in, and nothing. So my question is, what all do i have to do to make that sucker work? I am gonna go check the kickpanel fusebox here in a little while to see if there's a fuse for it, but its raining pretty hard, and you know how awkward it is to be under there. Thanks in advance.

there is a wire that runs specifically to that light. it might be on the loom that went to the spoiler. i had an extra on mine when i took the wing off. plug that in and see if it lights up.

I recently took my wing off too and just said eff it to the whole 3rd brake light thing. Are you legally supposed to have one or does it really matter?
Plus now I don't have to prop the trunk up with a broom stick anymore.

Illegal? I believe you are referring to the requirement of having a third brake light. The answer is yes, you must have a third brake light. I'm sure the OP will figure it out sooner or later. It's not that big of deal, think about how many cars you see on the road every day with a bulb out.
