Good Ol R2 and His Smiley

 

You gonna do it? Awesome!!! Make sure to keep us posted on how it goes! If it ends looking really nice, but still fairly low key, I'd love the DIY for it. =) Ohhhh you know what would be cool for your car? If u can somehow have another set that is only on when your glow lights are one, in a matching color. The red for braking (which is badass) and the blue for shows (also badass)

 

Yea, but all that guy did was added LED across the whole lens so the whole thing lights up. You want the light to go from side to side. I think it would be kool to have them light up normal, then when you hit the brake the lights go to a side to side effect.

 

why don't you guys try to retrofit one of these suckers into the 3rd brake light?

i would do it myself if i had the time, money and patience... especially programming and everything to work normally with the brakes. (which is possible with alot of electrical work)

Tim.... you should do it... but hey... it's MY idea

 

DIY PLEASE!

 

You don't need to buy all these aftermarket light kids to do this. It's actually a very simple circuit, I started building mine awhile ago but never got time to finish it. Anyway, this site gives you a full tutorial, including schematics, for doing several different variations of this.

I'd never be able to finish that....

 

Still waiting for a write up on how to do this.

 

I'll try to get one up within the next month.

 

That is awesome. I will be waiting. I think this is a really cool mod that makes our ugly third brake light look a lot better. Keep us informed on the status.

 

Any updates on this mod?

 

if someone puts up a DIY or sells a kit i'm all over it

 

I know you can buy these for the Eclipse(3rd generation) just not sure where

maybe you guys could do a retrofit or something...

 

wow that girl who did that stuff
trying to make everyone curious is fine
but up to a point

stuck up

 

is that legal?

 

she says it is
that's the only thing she says

 

It's a she. Who know, she might be a member and come across this thread soon.

 

ok... so simple diy yet?

 

everyone's overshooting the mark for finding a sweeping led product

i know i got to the thread kinda late, but go to your local autozone and in the section that has led products (led screws, cigarette lighters, and random led accenting things) they have what is called the "sweeper Led" light, that comes with two sweeping led light bars, which can be opened and modded to add the led's to the sides of the stock tC 3rd brake light housing

 

That bit-tech article is nice... it would make the job easy to do if you just hooked the LED's up with wires... I could do it pretty easily except I don't have access to the equipment to make the PCB for that anymore

If anyone's capable of making the PCB I bet it would be a decent seller...
