3rd brake light

tonio555 gave me a LED break light at the meet. what do you guys think of it? (yes this time i'm asking for opinions)


this was actually a pain in the ass cause manuals don't have "park" so the break lights don't go on lol

What? They still light up when you put your foot on the brake, or am I misunderstanding you.

when you put an auto in park, the break lights automatically go on weather you press on the break or not. but since manuals don't have "park", this don't happen. lol

stand by

to put it into park you have to apply the brake illuminating the brake lights but when you take your foot off the brake and have it sitting in park the lights arent on

are there any led's that you can wire up with the tail lights to be on all the time and get brighter when you hit your brakes?

i'm eventually gonna do skyline tail lights. And I want the trunk lights around the backup lights to have led's. I was wondering if I could wire them to get brighter when I touch my brakes.
