Third brake light removal

[Dhos1]

Just received my digital third brake light led panel, how hard is it to remove the third brake light?

 

[Dhos1]

Never mind—too damn easy. Took more time to type this than remove the two screws

 

[Dhos1]

Done, took about 30 mins. Only issue I had was that I had to shave a bit of the silver housing out so that the light connector would be centered up

Here’s a few pics of the way it comes off it just removes from the mount by a screw on each side. I removed it again because I’m going to spray my light black

I am out of town for work, but as soon as I am back tomorrow, I will get some pics up, all nice and painted.

Gentlemen, quick question. A we all know, we tear our cars apart and one system affects the other....my car is on jacks as I am doing rear disc brakes so I swapped out the front with new rotors and some new powder coated calipers. I have mr brake lines disconeceted. My point is that I will not be able to check the rear brake light due to no brakes and fluid.. Can I just hook th elight up to a 12 V source and check for operation prior to install?

Just get under the dash and jumper the brake light switch wires

Or if you have help have someone hold the switch down without pressing the brake pedal


I hope I understood what you are trying to do

I’m just trying to make sure it lights up before I fully install it. It is only 2 screws bit still

Simply hook it up to the connector, then very lightly push the brake pedal.
You shouldn't have to push the pedal more than an inch to light the brake light.
Or, push the brake light switch that's mounted by the pedal.
Or, hook 12 volts to the two terminals on the 3rd brake light.
Polarity won't matter on a light bulb, but it may with an LED.
