Stevest202,
I have taken clear 3rd brake from wolfie too. Why don't you make an "How to" for this led conversion with pics and explanation?
Looks good. did you mount the LEDs on a PCB or what?
i was struggling to find something suitable so i bought a vauxhall tigra spoiler brake light which is 16 leds in one strip its only siliconed in its outer casing so took apart and sawed in half glued one on top of other and resoldered with wire to make the connection again i will try and strip at weekend and take some photos of bits and how i did it biggrin.gif

Does it is original vauxhall part? In this case do you have the part number?
However we will wait the pics!! :-)

Oh wow a frankenstein job! I take it for granted that I have the equipment to make my own PCBs but am still really impressed when people manage to get the same effect by just hacking up other bits!
looks good man..how much for the clear third brake light?
