Title: Jono\'s new 3rd brake light ;)
Post by: Jono FD3 on May 31, 2009, 03:27:56 PM
Well, after doing the LED lights I thought the center section looked out of place due to the red lense inside!! you know what is coming next!!

Got a spair one & ripped it apart & OMG... I was expecting a small red lense, but it fills the full center garnish!!

Here are some pics:

Looks good jono. Would look even better if you could go right across the the back from left to right. I think a donor brake light off a Honda HRV would do the trick as the led strip is long

That was my initial intentions matey, but there wasn\'t enough room in the light unit to do it realy & I didnlt have enough LED\'s :( the other thing would be cutting a window in the tinted section of the garnish, then trying to get a clear to slot in perfectly!! Any slight miss alignment it would make the thing look bodged!
