3rd Brake Light

Posted

I have an OEM replica 89 spec spoiler fitted and I recently had it resprayed together with my rear hatch and the body shop said the 3rd brake light must never have worked as they can't find a connector for it.

I am due to collect the car tomorrow but does anyone know if splicing needs to be done to make the 3rd brake light work? If so, where would be the best place to do that or is there a hidden connector somewhere?

    UK specs are missing the 3rd brake light harness as they come from the factory with a dummy light. You will need to run a +12v supply

    from the rear o/s brake lamp back up to the tailgate hinge through the rubber concertina for the existing wiring harness and down

    to the 3rd brake light. You can earth the lamp on the rear wiper motor earth.

    I don't, it's installed in my spoiler and I intend to wire it up as per Andrews guide.
