so i just made a prototype LED third brake light for my camaro, if i can get enough people interested i might start mass producing them, anyone interested?

 

What third brake light? Is it the light in the spoiler? Or the on on the outside of the hatch or the inside of the hatch? I would post pics to see how it looks!

 

...plz...

 

All right guys, here's the pics. it looks great! and no more burnt out bulbs or having to find them!

 

Big business my friend, big business. So do you have any pictures? Im curious to see what you've got.

 

That looks bright! I hope it works out for you Brdn. Post it up in the advertizment section too.

 

definately, you interested in one?

 

I dont know if it'll work on mine. I got the outside high mount like this 86 IROC.

 

if you can measure your housing for me ill see if the length is the same as the LED strips I have, or if i can come up with some that length

 

the bulb mounting has 4 sockets. If you like, I can take a picture to show you tomorrow?

 

Okay. Good deal my friend. Ill get you the measurments tomorrow along with a few pictures so that you can see what is involved.

 

Unrelated to the brakelight, but what rims are those :x?

 

I dont know. I did a quick google search on "86 IROC" and it came up in the images. I chose this one because it has a good shot of the outside brake light. My IROC is on the footer of this post in my Signature block.

 

american racing has them, i have the same set on my 85 Iroc

 

American Racing Outlaws 2?

 

Hello Chevy8588!!

Did you have to destroy the original third brake light to install the LED strips????

 

Here it is Brdn. Here is the guts of my 3rd brake light. Now that I think of it, it may be rather difficult to do a custom mod for it. So I may just leave it as it is. Either way here it is so that you can get the general idea.

destroy as in never be able to use the incandescent bulbs again? yes, destroy as in completely hack the housing and just duct tape led strips behind? no. my work on this is top notch, the housings are throughly cleaned, modified, and resealed completely.

 

slightly shorter than the LED bars I am using for this, ill try to see if i can find an automotive grade bar in your size

 

Will your LED bars fit in the 88 rear spoiler ???
U know the one with the feet on it ..lol

I need a new brake light there.mmhhh

 

Sounds good. Just dont break your head over it. It aint such a big deal anyway. I wanna do some kind of custom cutout that covers the lens so that it reads IROC-Z. Kind of like this one but of course my brake light is up high.

But this is another topic.

 

do you have a picture of it?

 

I used an astro van 3rd brk light for mine.

 

Will take one right now..hold ON !!!

 

Hello Chevy8588!!

Do you have some pictures to show your housing mod?



P.S. I'm not trying to steal your thunder, I'd just like to see how the mod was done!!

I know that the above statement sounds like a loaded question, but I wouldn't steal your idea to market this, that's not my style!!

 

im interested in one...

is it a direct plug in/bolt in?...

 

i do not have any pix of the build process if that's what you are asking, though the housing looks almost exactly the same minus the light bulb strip in the back of it.


yes, it is direct bolt in/plug 'n' play

 

ok......how much r they gona b goin 4?...if u start selling them?...

 

Bought a LED 3rd brakelight kit from soneone on this Board few years back for $9.00 shipped. Delux kit consisted of a Resistor with plugs for the regular hardness and (5) LEDs that pluged into the stock fixture. Took about 15 minutes to install and still working with no problems.

 

what i am doing here, is deleting the stock fixture on the back of the housing all together, this setup i do puts 100 automotive grade LEDs INSIDE the housing, and sealed off from the elements. this is pure plug n play, 5 minute install. I'm doing this for $50.00 + shipping.

 

And i think its a very fair price...and i bet its cool !!!!!!

just went to NAPA and they found the plug i need for a fan relay..( $ 67.00 ) , so u tell me if this is cheap..lol

 

Hello Chevy8588!!

Have you got a picture of the back of the housing once it's all done, before it's installed???



It looks good from the outside, how is the electrical connection made, since the stock bulb fixture is being deleted???

Have you got cores, or does the client have to provide a core???
