3rd brake light

Thinking of getting a 3rd brake light but how are they connected?

Cheers

Into the brake light circuit.

Just wired this up last weekend,



Just soldered straight onto the brake light cluster. Look where the brake light bulb is (lower outside corner) & you can make a connection on the metal either side of the socket.

ok cheers mate, so it's just a wire from the rear lights? might just get one that sticks onto the back window, is that the same?

Yea, you'll probably find it comes with enough wire to reach that far.

Probably easier too as you can keep the wiring inside, behind the head liner then down behind the inside trim to get to the light cluster.

Let me know if you get stuck & I'll throw up a pic of what I've done!

do i detect a hint of sarcasm? yeah like mike said is good but if you cant be bothered with soldering try scotch clips and chop into the brake light wires finding them with a voltmeter. its pikey but it'll work!

Yea pretty cool, I actually got it on here off Ineson who got it off Mr.Blue, but as far as I know it's from a Jap/US spec VR6?!
