Very sick, I was thinking something similar to this at the top of my hatch frame in my tC. I wonder if 4th brake-lights are legal.

Ok so this will be my first how-to write up so go easy on me

1) First thing I did was take the 3rd brake light apart. There are 2 bolts. You just remove them and it pops out. I then took the light bulb out and kept the connector for the third brake light wried. I DID NOT CUT THE FACTORY WIRES. I had a connector for a 194 from oznium that you get when you buy a dome light from them. I simply wired that to the Paraniha light and pluged it in.

2) I then bought some Stanley Mending plates that worked perfect. There are 2 predrilled holes and I screwed the provided holder to one hole and screwed in the other part to the metal above the window



3) I then drilled a piolt whole above the window(Be careful not to hit the glass) and I dremled down some screws so that they were really short and I mounted the brackets to the window.



Here is a view from the inside the problem Im having is making it look nice from the inside. So any ideas are welcome



I had fun doing this and I really like it it looks sweet and is very bright.

Maybe you could carve a mockup housing out of foam, and make it out of fiberglass, or have someone vacuum form one?

Thats nice!

What about using a pipe? Just big enough, with end caps cut in half?

Good idea! Maybe you could use a black PVC pipe...... Would be really easy to cut.

plus using the pipe, you might be able to use the stock location and not have to drill extra holes.

robbie - did you have to add some wire to get it hooked up. Looking at yours above it looks like you did.

Also just a thought, without measuring, could put 2 up there. Have it all the way across, though there would be a gap in the center.
