After a long chat with the zed centre I think im going to remove my rear spoiler and buy a smooth tailgate skin..

 

Question 1: My spoiler has the brake (see pic) and fog light built in to it, by saying fog light I mean that if I press the fog light button in my car the brake light will stay on.

 

Question 2: How do I put a brake light in like the below pic?

 

Regards,

 

Matt

that second pic dsnt have a tailgate skin, just a perspex lens, i dont think you can have a 3rd brake light in a tailgate skin

 

this is a tailgate skin:

Sorry to be stupid but whats that light in the middle of pic 2?

that IS a 3rd brake light but its not in a tailgate skin, its in a perspex lens.

you can have the perspex lens with or without a 3rd brake light

But what im getting at is that my 3rd brake light is on the spoiler at the mo...How would I get my 3rd brake light like pic 2 if I bought a perspex lens with light.

you mean as a dual brake/fog light? im no good with electronics but im sure it will be a simple case of diconnecting the old one and plugging the connector into the new one.

You can have a third light in the t/gate skin but you have to do it your self!

;)

mantav8 put a brake light into a tailgate skin, look in his rides.

edt - too late it seems :p

So the perspex panel has a brake light built into it! So when I take my OEM spoiler of there be a place to put the perspex panel brake light into....

you can buy two versions of the perpex panel:

 

1. without break light, around £35

2. with brake light built in, around £80

 

and yes its a simple bolt on panel, with a space in the tailgate already there for the break light, you just have to reconnect to the new light

Thanks guys, going to buy a perpex panel with built in brake light....

 

How do you put the perpex panel on?

it really does just bolt straight on bud, you'll see once you have the spoiler off

Cool, so its just a bolt on, then reconect the wire where the old spoiler brake light was and thats it...

yes, but you will have to get a bodyshop to fill the holes left by the old spoiler on the top of the tailgate, then the tailgate will need re-sprayin

Thanks ya5een, I think thats the route im going down...

be carefull taking the old spoiler off, i had some problems getting mine off as there are plastic clips holding it on and they dont give up easy!... and i still havent had the holes filled yet :o the perspex pannel is really easy.. i got one without the light but should be easy peasy to wire up!

Be carefull handling the perspex trim it is quite brittle were the inner backing deos,nt meet :headvswal :headvswal

i tired the nice and simple method of removing my rear spoiler, it didnt work.. so i just grabbed it and ripped the thing off.. it was quite liberating at the time ;)

 

also one more note you will find that on jap rears you need to make a few more holes as there are some that arent there, but they are on the uk ones.

 

i will post a link to this shortly.
