Here's the one I bought for my last build. I think Engman was selling them. If memory serves, it was from a convertible Camaro?
This time, I'm trying to find a spoiler that has one built-in. Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |

Mine is in back window just above the back pad using the
3m adhesive dots. Wire tucks in nice,no reflection in mirror. Guy is old school real cool. That's his car in the advert. |

I did the same as CatTripps. Vette 3rd brake light......Got mine from a salvage yard several years ago that bought a bunch of NOS. Think I paid $35 for brand new still in box!

Check with SoCal Andy.. he installed just a LED strip under the engine grill so its completely hidden. Any car that is higher than a 914 (everything) can see the light when illuminated

That's pretty slick AZ914....and pictures of it?
I was thinking of installing my light like Porschef has, but in the same manner as andys...on my GT style lid. |

Mine looks like Garlands, except it's an allweather stick on 24" led from Autozone. Been on for almost 2 years, 60 miles a day in all weather. I know it's stopped trucks from running over me on the freeway. Wires through the chrome. Put in a small cut of rubber vacuum line in the metal and inserted the wires, and then a dob of clear silicone glue. Wires down and into the mesh next to the engine lid, down the wiring harness, and a double plug onto my stop light on the left brake light. Quick, simple, and easy.

Naturally, I can't find a photo of mine, but I ended up using a waterproof LED strip from superbrightleds.com.
https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/si...ight-strip/102/ I had to drill some holes (OH THE HORROR!) into the chrome to hide the wires, but it works great. |

Any car that is higher than a 914 (everything) can see the light when illuminated Yeah, I came up with that one. Bright enough to see clearly from my F-250, yet very hard to see when you are looking for it in the daytime.

I have had it on for 3 years without any issues...or being rear-ended. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

I went with the Corvette light too
