HOLY CRAP! That is surprising how much the light shines through!! Tomorrow can you take a better pic of the the whole rear end with that 3rd brake light? I'm curious how the entire look of it is.

I ask and you supply! Nice pic of the trunk and the painted light. I am not sure I'm sold on this for me (I have another idea I'm cooking up), but I am impressed!!!

Really cool! Thanks for offering your service to members of the forum!!

To be honest, once I can execute my idea (which is 1/3 done with a donor brake light) I will share everything on the forum. Until then, I'd rather not say (it may turn out awesome OR, it may be a flop). Even if the idea is a flop, I will let the cat out of the bag then (I just want to hold the right to be the first to do it).

As for the cops, I don't think there is any law making a 3rd brake light mandatory. It's just "helpful" to be better noticed. So I don't see why cops would hassle anyone about it. The fact the light shines through it is awesome though!
