TankTread Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I was thinking with all the advancements and high tech stuff in the car, the third brake light is out of place and belongs more in a mid 90's model than something through the last decade. I am thinking of changing over to an LED strip or something similar. I really liked the Oldsmobile Aurora's high mounted third brake light and thought maybe I'll target the roof line area for the mod. Here is a photo-shopped set to show what I'm thinking. If anyone has seen this I'd be interested in seeing how it was done. If not, I guess I may pioneer it myself. http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll273/meisengart/Legacy/P1070654.jpg http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll273/meisengart/Legacy/P1070657.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJS5689 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Eh, I'm not sure that looks any better. That look works on some cars, not on others and our Legacy isn't one of them. I think our third brake light looks good the way it is. I do like the long, thin brake light look on vehicles like the Escalade though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy51 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Actually I think it looks badass. Nice thought. And if that's dgm then I think it would look sweet with a spoiler too. So you want to trade trunk lids? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2005legacy2.5i Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I think that it looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_sharp Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Without doubt, that looks better. Don't let the VW fanboi tell you otherwise lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TankTread Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 Thanks guys. I think I'll continue on and do a writeup for the project when I get the components together. Hey 51, what is dgm? One of the reasons I bought this car is because it didn't have a spoiler. I like the look without it. Thanks for the offer though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pillboy Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 ArcTec34 has already made LED insert modules for the existing housing. I have one. I am also too lazy to dig up the thread. It is still ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
