Third brake light cover done.

Well after looking around wal-mart and some auto stores...I finally found the #891 lights that I needed to complete this..But as you can see..the middle light is acting up..don't worry I'll fix it. I just was getting attacked by mosquitoes when I was taking these pic's so I didn't have time to fix it.

I got mine off ebay...But if any of you are interested you can get it off custombrakelights.com

Re: Third brake light cover done.

any idea what font that is, when going to the website if you want custom lenses you have to specify font and wording. i'd want it to be in the same font as IROC-Z is written on the car.

Re: Third brake light cover done.

No its not a dead bulb its just touchy...I fixed it already(had to smack my spoiler) No leds are not required. And I've heard the ones at radioshack will melt some of the plastic surrounding it. thats why I waited to get them at wal-mart.

Oh yeah and BTW...I'm pretty sure #194 bulbs will work...But I found this out after I bought my #891's.
After I took apart my third brake light..I found two #194's that had been working just fine.

Re: Third brake light cover done.

If the awsome comment was meant for me,thanks.Thats an astro van 3rd brake light.As for the tailights.I posted this mod a year or so back.Basically what i did was mask the inside of the lense.Then i cut along the grids & removed the masking tape from every other grid.it was then painted with VHT nightshades.I may still have a pic or two of the lense if the posting is no longer around.

Re: Third brake light cover done.
