I have a 1998 Integra Gs. The car's third brake light is on the spoiler, none mounted inside the car. I was planning on taking the spoiler off for a new one, but then I would need to install a mounted third light. I called an Acura Dealership and they said about $700 dollars for the parts and installation.

So I'm thinking about looking around for the parts myself? Any clue on everything that I would need? How would installation be like? Has anyone done this before?

Thanks.

Ahahaa,yeah pretty expensive stuff. Yeah, if you could help me find the DIY info that would be great. Any estimates on the total costs?

lol for seven hundred get a cf hatch and stick a christmas light on it. but seriously you would have to drill holes in your window (if that's possible) i think it would be way easier to just buy a wingless hatch for about a few hundred.

just go without a third brake light. your tail lights will still have a brake light function.

I agree

I think it has a cleaner look to it.

And it will be illegal. I can't speak for others but I can't stand riding behind a car with no center brake light or one that doesn't work, because that's what I always notice first. That's why they were mandated by the government, because it was shown that people react quicker to a light in the center than they do to lights on each side of the car.

I stuck my LED light from my wing inside my rear glass. I've always wanted to fab up some kind of enclosure so I don't see the light come on in my rear view when I brake, but I've never gotten around to it. It's been like that for nearly 5 years now, and I'm pretty much just used to it.

I say don't even put a third brake lamp. It looks better without it imo.

removing safety features from a car driven on public roads amongst idiot drivers... yeah real smart

I don't know about everyone else but with all the idiots around the Memphis area, I want as many brake lights as possible on the back end of my car.

OP i dont think a ls hatch is gonna cost you that much . if possible try and trade the gs one for the ls . save money/time
