I searched around and didnt really like any of the 3rd brake light options so i put this together for about $45 and a lot of time.

I like it as well, 'tis very slick.

Is AZ anal about the 3rd brake light? After over 4 years with no 3rd brake light I finally broke down and bought an ORO in conjuction with moving the tag to the center of the tire.

well i have been without the third brake light for about 6 months now, and have not had any issues but i would rather have all the "required" safety equipment just in case.

Not in general did not have one for 5 years. Now in Scottsdale I have heard of Jeepers being pulled over. I added on just in case.

I've got a 59 chevy Biscayne, with power nothing, No seat belts & No third light... It wasn't a safety issue then, why should it be now ?? Driving with your eyes open, is a requirement in most states,,,

They also didnt have airbags and didnt care about drinking and driving as much either...things change and I would rather be safe than sorry. To each thier own though I guess.:suicide:

Hit that with a new car and plastic everything. Guess who wins.... :cwm13:
It does not need air bags seat belts and such in this plastic world.... :shitstorm:

I moved my third brake light to the top several years ago. I kept the budget to about $20.00. But it still works.

I like it! did you use any RTV or anything to seal the hole?

 

[HITMAN_ACTUAL]

Looks good - only question is what's your backup plan for when the top comes off?

Have not gotten that far yet, shortly after i finished this, i left for Military Training. have lots of ideas, just none that have shined as the best yet.

 

[adamkaikens]

It's been awhile since I have put any thought into this, but I think I may have a good idea.

I think I will get another light like the one I have, but not as long, and attach it somehow either permanently or make it so it can be installed and removed as needed, to the rear most horizontal bar to the roll cage.

^^^^Post of the year,

if you think you're safe, just because your car is big, you're an idiot.

I like this idea. Permanently fasten one to the rollcage, and when the hard top is off, plug the harness into the one on the cage.

Yeah that what I was thinking. Leave it unplugged when the top is on, so I don't fill the cab with light when I brake.

Im a Genius I know....now if I could get my wife to think so.
