I'd like to add a 3rd brake light, and do like the one I have on the Jetta, but looks like I would be brake light challenged to even begin to mount/make that work? Probably wouldn't work, as it was designed to be inside.

I ended up going with this in red.
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Pilot-Automotive...Pieces/35680164 Only 5/16" wide with adhesive back. I'm thinking I will try and find a short piece of polished stainless tubing, or black iron, and maybe about 3/8" inside diameter, and cut out about a third of the wall lengthwise, and roll it with a bit of curve to match the roll bar with the opening facing towards the back and leave an area uncut to spot weld a tab/foot on each end a ways to use some adhesive to stick to the inside of the rear window, and then find some plugs at Ace, to cap the ends?? I think maybe I can possibly get by rolling a bit of curve in it after I cut a section out, since there won't be that much of a radius. It may possibly distort it also. We'll see. |
