Third Break light

If I remove the central blanking part of the rear spoiler, will the wiring be there for me to connect a third break light?

can I just connect it and away I go?

    If you have a UK then probably not. Some do but I suspect it's more likely that they have had a JDM tailgate put on at some time in the past.

    Yep, it is a UK tt targa 1992. I am just in the process of drilling out the rusty screws that hold the blank in place.

    If it is the case that I can not just plug the break light in, is it an easy wiring job?

    or will there be nowhere to take the power and switching wire from?

    I've always fancied a third break light, it will be a pi**er if it's not possible.

    It can be done but you would have to take a feed from the rear lights back up and through the tailgate down to the brake light. Apart from feeding the wires through it's a very easy wiring job mate.

    Cheers Steams,

     

    Hopefully will have the blank out tonight and will know for sure, although I know you are right.

    I am just clinging to a glimmer of hope as my wiring expertise is not great.

    Should know for sure soon.
