Altezza 3rd brake light

Post by cashmoneyspeed »

Made my 3rd brake light into an altezza style light the other day. I think it looks real good. It completments the chrome altezzas i have really well.

You need to get a host site.. like http://www.cardomain.com You can post your pics there and then link to them here on this board.

You could email them to one of these guys that know how to post them and they can do it for you, maybe.
No more MX-3.

I figured out how to post pics, however, i still haven't gotten a pic of the 3rd brake light that i'm happy with. Pics just don't do it justice. I'll try again this weekend.

Pics coming soon. All you have to do is remove the cover over your 3rd brake light and then remove the 2 10mm nuts and take the brake light assembly out. Than remove the lense with a pocket screwdriver and you're done. Take the bulbs out and get some red ones and reinstall. Took about 10 minutes to do.

Dig through some old posts by Taras where he used the outside cab light from a fairly new pick-up truck. It was a set of LED's and he integrated it into the third brake light housing. I believe the pics were pretty sweet looking. Try looking as far back as January perhaps. FWIW
