Are you reproducting these? or is this just something one off for you?

Me
GT
Last night took 3 hours
My garage
$40.00! at your Ford dealer

Your last question : Its one off for me. I did have to cut a pocket in the stock roll bar, not just the trim, due to the depth of the housing. I would not have done this to my project car. But this one is the daily driver and I like to customize it a bit.

Got the part from my local Ford Dealer today. They wanted $59.20 for it, but it came in 2 days. I just hope I can cut my chrome trim nicely enough to fit it as well as the red car did. The look is just beautiful, I saw the car at the Midwest SMOG RAMBLE, and it made all the other 3rd brake lights look kind of stuck on.

I think that this is a very important upgrade if you drive your car in traffic these days. Here in Chicagoland, most of the drivers are semi-brain dead on there best days, so bright colors and bright lights are your best defense.

Here is the pocket cut out of the roll bar. I used a jig saw and a good blade. Inside the bar is a inner reinforcement. It will not need to be cut as this
lamps depth is just right to fit up to it when installed.

This view shows the cut a little closer. (The roll bar cover folds under itself not into the pocket due to the tight fit of the lamp)

The trim needs to be cut out of the top 2/3 for the light to fit into the roll bar, and fit into the trim due to the backside shape of the trim piece. No cutting of the trim is needed other then the hole for the lamp on the face side of the trim. This was also done with a jig saw after drilling a starter hole for the blade to fit through.
