i love that led 3rd that looks good the rest of the car looks great to keep up the good work man

Love the headlights...that's exactly how I want mine with the chrome rings left in tact. Beautiful job all around!!!

 

I should have taken pics of mine when it was apart but didn't have my camera, but here it goes:

LED 3rd Brake light how to:
PARTS NEEDED:
-socket set
-LED 3rd brake light(just the light bar) from an Impala or I believe a Monte Carlo
-Hot Glue gun w/glue
-OPTIONAL soldering iron w/solder

THE INSTALL:
-Remove 3rd brake light from car (must remove carpet cover on trunk and remove 2 bolts)
-Take red cover off of 3rd brake light and remove the 3 stock bulbs.
-Route a pair of wires through one of the stock sockets
-Attach wires to LED board wires via soldering or splicing
-Now hot glue the LED board to the reflector side of the stock 3rd brake light.
-Put the red cover back on and re-install on vehicle.
-Last step is connect the other end of the wires you ran, to the stock wire harness via splicing or soldering.
-Test to make sure everything works


Glad you guys like!

 

yea you need the third brake light out of the impalas or monte carlos 2000-2003. best place to get them is junk yard or i can get you the part number if you want it from gm runs about 58 bucks.

just one note. when you pull the bulbs out you also need to pull the black piece which holds the bulbs off the back trust me makes it a lot easier to do the soldering. when i did them i soldered the leads from the board directly to the part which holds the bulbs. you also have to ohm out the holder to make sure you get neg to neg and pos to pos. it is a easy mod to do and adds to the looks of the car. IMO i think it looks great on the black cars

 

that looks good i like the debadged logo on the back and the headlights

 

Can you post that in the HOW To Section? Looks sweet!

 

Will work with littleSS on getting this posted in there

 

Absolutly Love the black headlights and may have to do it to mine ...how long did it take you ..and how difficult did you find it ...also what paint did you use ??

 

Looks great, gotta love thoes headlights!

 

took me a couple days to do the headlights. The most difficult part I think would be getting the lens off of the light. I just used some semi gloss 500 degree engine paint.

 

i just dont like the black tailights

other than that, looks good

 

you need some pictures of your windows up!

 

Does anyone know if the rear chevy emblem is just double sided sticky tape or is it screwed on? I want to take it off and I notice a lot of people are doing it . I did this with my Si and would like to do it with my SS it looks cleaner. I don't want to attempt it if it is bolted on. but I do not see and bolts from the trunk any.

 

they are double side taped on

 

sweet headlights

 

how did you get the lens off of the headlight and back on???? details please....

 

diggin those headlights man. love em love em.

 

hey sweet ride

how did u paint ur tailights and the bowtie. just prime n paint?
i got a red base and i wanna do the same 2 mine

 

nice car but I'm not really feeling the black on the tail lights...maybe it would look better on a black SS

 

Your car looks sweet , nice job man I like to do what you did to the 3rd brake light , but use a clear lens . I think on a silver car it would almost be invisible when the brakes arent on .

 

has your light output changed at all with the painted headlights???

 

liek the 3ed break light

 

i wish i could get someone to do my headlights black sooooo bad, i would pay! i just cant go without headlights for a week.
