LED Third Brake Light, Which one?

Bangarang · November 17th, 2010, 05:22 PM

Can someone please send me a link to an LED 3rd brake light they bought that doesn't look rice? I've been browsing online and some look blacked out and others, though advertised as "blacked out" look rice. Thanks there are too many out there so I was looking for someone who has one that would look clean on a 99-04 GT.

All of them look ricey. Sand and repaint for stock one. Takes like 2 hours.

There isn't any aftermarket LED 3rd brake light for our cars that's actually bright. All of them are barely visible during the day. I went with some high power LEDs from v-leds.com and they're still barely as bright as the stock 921 bulbs. Only reason I converted to LEDs is because I have a flasher module that strobes the 3rd brake light if I slam on the brakes and incandescent bulbs aren't instant on/off like LEDs.

As far as I know the only Japanese car that has that option is the GT-R, it's mostly a Mercedes and Ferrari thing. Ford also implemented strobing brake lights in the GT. I still have the stock housing, just LEDs under them.

3rd brake light

Haha yeah I was really leaning that way but my light is slightly warped, but not too much. Maybe I will get an LED one and tint it. I don't think LED is that rice but the component itself is. Especially the one from AM where you can see inside the housing. Regardless of, thanks for the tips.
