Has any hardtop owner relocated the third brake light to the hard top itself? I think the light extensions provided with the tire carrier are gawdy and cheap. Thought maybe someone installed an after market light to the hartop with a quick disconnect for top removal. Would like to know how and what you did!

 

I have thought about this Mod myself.

I also have a street Rod (39 Chevy Coupe) and have seen a few of the LED third brake lights offered by different vendors.

The only and major drawback I can think of would be that the third brake light would be very high up. Because I have a 4.5" lift and 37" tires.......

Still kicking it arouund.

 

No one should have a problem seeing it then-

I will do it once I find a light I like, so far, this seems to have my attention

7th item down the page, model # 003-82

thought of mounting it on under window frame center at top

 

im not trying to be a smart a$$ but i know someone is going to say it. If you incorporate it into the hardtop don't you loose it when you remove the hardtop. I like the idea but that means you have to have a third brake light when the top is off. I am all for a better looking thing than the ET that is above my tire. Hope i didn't make any waves....

 

flippersjeep. I like your thinking.
Are you gonna drill right thru the hard top?
Will you be able to just wire it to the old 3rd brake light wire?
Do you need ant type of modules or anything else?

 

If your Jeep is up THAT high, you may be able to use one of those hitch mounted third brake lights. It'd probably be the direct line of sign of most car drivers!!

Some one did this already and there is a write-up about it. Looked real nice but like mentioned, you loose the light when you go topless....Sorry, I don't have the link to the write-up

 

and why is having a 3rd brake light THAT important? most jeepers toss them aside when they upgrade their rear bumper... my 2 cents

 

I want it so JOHN LAW doesn't pull me over for anything stupid. Plus the fact that it does help not getting rearended.

 

nah boots leave it the way it is. i really like the way you have it. i d love to see the inside of that wheel lit up at night!
