QUOTE(Mark Henry @ Jan 4 2019, 12:49 PM)  QUOTE(malcolm2 @ Jan 4 2019, 11:59 AM) I like the idea of the Center Brake light being as high as possible. So stick on, the underside of the targa bar, or maybe the targa rear edge. One thing to watch for, especially if you're tall, is a high stick on light may obstruct the rear view mirror.

Well, I’m 6’4” and have no problem with my targa bar light obstructing my rear view, unless I’m looking for airplanes! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

QUOTE(malcolm2 @ Jan 3 2019, 02:33 PM) I have been thinking about the subject. There are only about 3 Topic Titles that pop up on a search. So I am curious if folks are doing this. I notice lots of pick-up trucks with LED strips under the tail gate. Maybe only $20 and you get blinkers (and hazards), brake lights, and reverse lights. Plus the unwanted running lights. The 1st few I saw on Amazon used a trailer wiring couple, so that would be easy. Summit Racing has one for $30 but it is 60" long. Probably too long, wonder if I could just go with 1/2 of it and skip the blinker function too? SUMMIT RACING LINK Thoughts?? Here's my solution to this issue. Bought mine at Walmart. Two to a pack. Gave the other one to my friend OLAF who installed it on his 914.  |

These are easy to mount using the adhesive backing...got them at local Autozone...set the wiring to include a diode so that they work with directional signals as well as the brake lights.....

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) If the windshield has ever been replaced and the RVM was stuck on say a 1/2" higher it will be an issue. Worth checking before you install the light. |

Here’s the link to my 3rd brake lamp.
3rd Brake Lamp Working on a new design, same style built into trim. Sourced this time Cadillac. Using designed lamp parts are much brighter then LED tape.  |

Yours is the one I remembered. Nicest option I ever saw. Thanks for giving the link. I still remember that SMOG event fondly - 914s in Hell!

Thought I would share the high mount third brake light I installed today. I wanted something super stealth that didn't require any cutting or drilling. I went with this flexible LED strip for motorcycles. I posted details on the install on my build thread: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?s=&...t&p=2847290 I'm very happy with the result.
