LED 3rd Brake Light
Anyone ever come across an OEM looking 3rd brake light with LEDs instead of a light bulb? I recall seeing somewhere where an LED light up faster than a standard light bulb.

I was following a couple year old Corvette home form the world headquarters tonight and I noticed his 3rd LED brake light lit up just a bit quicker that the rest of his brake light!Originally Posted by Treibenschnell
I found a clear 3rd LED brake light for an NB for $245.00, there is no way I'm spending that much $$$. Anyone know of any other sources??
Linky!
According to athread, the LE's came with clear lens and red LEDs.
OTOH, you could hook a Back Off up if you're trying to get people's attention.
You're right. Most of the newer high end vehicles are coming with LED brake lights. It allows the car designers much more freedom when it comes to the shape of the tail end. Plus the sheer safety factor of having the light come on that much quicker. I just don't know if it's worth your money for it though...
My new 4Runner has all LED taillights and those suckers are bright! Bling Bling :afro:
The suckers we were testing were low watt ultra high output.
I know of a clear one, if you can deal with clear. I'm sure you could find someway to make the clear part red. Linkie

I've got one I got from Poppa Joe at RSpeed. It's clear with a chrome reflector. I toned down the chrome to a black chrome look with some model car, spray tint.
It's made by IL Motorsport
They make a NB one too. Quality on my NA one was top notch.
I also included some photos of my "customized" CHMSL.
Wow it's $121.9368 before shipping for an NB!
Your so bling bling black roadster!
Found another option that's less bling. $50 too.
Brainstorm sells it. Red lens so it looks similar to stock.
This is a great SAFETY upgrade. 2 rows of ultra bright LEDs replaces the dull bulb in the brake light assembly. LED brake lights respond faster to application of the brake pedal and gives the driver behind you a few more precious moments to react. The LEDs respond 250ms quicker than an incandescent bulb would and that equates to 22 feet at 60mph of additional stopping distance for the car following you!Installs in 20 minutes.
Yea..... Thanks a lot skinny married white guy from McKinney!Thas ite BOYEEEEEE!
