So, My partner Steve & I were talking about getting some LED kits made for the third brake lights. Would this be something the community would be interested in? As for pricing, Not sure yet but these will be very affordable for everyone. Most likely plug-n-play as well

Here are some pictures.

 

That's what I'm looking for

 

so what happens when you run out of impalas led boards? :p
it looks good, i did mine a while ago.

 

i want that

 

We dont use Impala LED boards which are roughly 60-80$ a peice. We make our own boards.

 

what price are you thinking?? how long will you warranty them??

 

depends on price.

 

DAMN!
i got mine for 17 bucks shipped. 60 really?
holey ****.
they look the same as mine, so i just guessed.
of course i had to wire mine in and all that, but it wasn't a big deal.
a plug in play would be great though.
good luck

 

What does it look like at night very interested

 

Thats what the impala brake lights cost new. Not very cost affective when you only need the LED board. We'll design our own. Looking to be under $30 hopfully.

 

I'd be interested, I unplugged my 3rd brake light cuz it doesnt go with my LED tail-lights

 

I'm interested

 

for less than 30 bucks i'd have def bought yours.
especially if it was plug in play.

 

Damm i should of waited.

 

Would that include the resistor to retain cruise? I did my own retro and learned the hard way about needing a resistor. But $30 PnP WITH the resistor would be good.

 

i had the led one that modern performance use to sell but it randomly stopped working so yeah

 

I'm interested

 

im interested, as long as its PnP

 

my 06 ss/sc had 3rd led from modern performance and worked fine.

When I bought one for my tc the 3rd brake light would stay slightly illuminated when parking lights where on,
and it would stay dimly light for ten minutes after the car was shut off

if theirs a way to fix this i would order one!

 

You only need a resistor if it blinks. I wired mine in with no problems from a monte carlo, no problems what-so-ever.

On the other hand, I had to use resistors later for my new taillights because they blinked and it was hyper blinking.

 

<-------- Interested.

 

Ok guys, I got the design down and made one quickly. Just ordered all the parts. Would anyone be interested in pre-ordering?

 

I've had this on my car for a while now, and I use cruise every day. I have no issues.... What sort of problem did you have?

 

How much?

 

I have a 09 SS so I can't comment on ALL cars. This is what happened when I installed an aftermarket 32 LED strip into my lamp housing. I didn't have much hair BEFORE this episode but after the troubleshooting required to fix it I have a lot LESS now.

If you will read your owners manual you see that to ARM the cruise control you must hit the brakes once after starting the car to allow the cruise to be turned on. This is a safety feature built into the system to verify that the brakes are working BEFORE ALLOWING the cruise to be set because the BRAKES are the primary method by which the cruise is turned off. The system uses the High Mount Brake Light to sense the brake function. It does this by sensing the current draw across the High Mount lamp. Because there is so little resistance across an LED there isn't enough current sensed to allow the cruise to turn on. This is the same condition that causes rapid flashing LED's. If you used a LED lamp from another vehicle it probably has the resistor circuitry built in. There's plenty of reference material around.

This is a quick reference. Scroll down to the bottom;

If something had been available, when I did mine, for $30, including shipping, I would have jumped on it.
