3rd break light

[broncoguy18]

hey everyone im installing strobes in my 3rd break light it has two reverse lights on it. the question is : does anyone have a wiring diagram of the 3rd break light? thanks!

im an emt where im at and im installing the strobes for that purpose. yes please do not hold anyone accountable for you installing strobes to your vehicle. do what i did call your department of public safety and request a permit and tell them what you will be using it for. they can tell you if they're legal or not. if you have any questions about what strobes to get or anything like that let me know...im a whacker...lol

What bothers me is the point that people cant have lighted tag frames or neon lights or any other cool addition to their vehicle because from what im told is its a destraction to other people on the road and because of their inability to be responsible for your own vehicle as the law puts it,nobody can put certain things on their vehicle.How come I can see these things on the road and have no problem operating my truck but other people cant?Now the law is contradicting itself.Like I said you are supposed to be responsible for your own vehicle but when someone has a neon light under their car and someone else on the road looks at it then they get into an accident its the person with the neons fault.It isnt right.Anyway thats what bothers me.NOT what you posted.I just wanted to know why....Thanks http://broncozone.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/biggrin.gif

Actually, I agree with that, And so do a bunch of others as I take it. In NJ at least, as of March 1st of 2009, auxillary lights of any kind without permits on any vehicle is no longer a MCV inspection failure, (nor is a bunch of other ******** crap), so at least someone is listening. As far as police go, well, they are a different story.

even though it is the law people still do it. the law here states you can not have red/blue/amber neon lights but all others are fine. but thats where im at laws differ through out states. =/ STROBES COME IN TOMARROW

I think the government just likes to come up with new and creative ways to drive us all completly insane. At least they are doing SOMETHING besides taking long lunches and afternoon naps.

Where do you think they come up with this stuff?On their long lunches and after their naps. )

So I'm having trouble taking off the 3rd brake light....any suggestions?

Kinda confused by your question. Take out the two screws, and it comes out. Unless the bulb melts the plastic, makes it bulge out, and it gets stuck. In that case, be prepared to break something.

You make a good point. They would have to be dreaming to make any of their crap work.

I think the plastic melted so it won't come off

Yeah, mine did that. Took alot of messin around and patience to get it out. You have to be careful to not mess up the fiberglass on the top too much. I ended up replacing that light with a new one, but they are not cheap. I think it was around $150.
