Led brakelight?

I had a customer at the shop today with a late model Cadillac Allante with the led strip in the decklid. What is everyone's opinion on integrating one of these above the glass ( in the deep curve ) as a third brakelight? , , or ? Thanks, Jerry

Re: Led brakelight?

I think it would be cool. Mabey if you did it with a dark lens or something. If the truck was a dark color, with a darkened lens would be hardly noticeable.

Regardless...I think go for it. I love my LEDS

Re: Led brakelight?

I put a third brake light in the curve. Got it off of epay for like 20 bucks, its a universal 12 led used for toppers and such. That suckers bright, matches my LED tailights nicely too.

It usually takes a while before someone notices it.

Re: Led brakelight?

If u cant get the cadi one to fit, try just getting a strip that a lot of people sell, like styling concepts. I have these strips on both my trucks, they look great, and they would be easy to integrate into the curve. Just a thought...
