The rear glass angle on the vanagon is the same as the Volvo wagons. There led brake light can fit on the lip of the rear vanagon shelf or direct mount to the glass. Way brighter and way cheaper. I have one of the gowesty lights and not sure if it would fit in the 914? Or I would worry about reflection off the rear glass?

JCL -
The GoWesty one sticks onto the rear glass - so no reflection is possible - period. It's a clean LED unit & adds that is enclosed from the back (drivers vision) side.

This is on sale for $25 now - regular price is $30 - so I sincerely doubt that a Volvo part is going to be less than that!
I also doubt that the Volvo one is any brighter than this multi-LED unit.
It's an interior mount, so no need to be waterproof, although the casing appears to be similar to some other exterior trunk lid mounted ones that I've seen.
When this is mounted on the inside, top, of rear window, I'm wondering if it obstructs the rear view mirror?
I wonder if a person could use those strip lights in the same position on the inside, but maybe could make/find some sort of housing for it to be mounted in, and stick them in, and would be a lower profile?
Do those strip lights have an adhesive on them?
I guess you could take the LED light strip out of the housing & use double-stick foam tape to attach it to either the inside of the glass or top roll-bar pad, since it's only +/- 1/2" high.
But experiment first with it temp. taped to the glass in the housing to see if you can trim the top &/or bottom flanges with the sticky tape to reduce the height - maybe even both top & bottom - just leaving 2 "ears L&R to adhere to the glass.
IIRC they're still on sale to 1/31/15 & go on sale from time to time at GoWesty.
Good Luck!
