Wouldn't be too hard. Tap off your brake lights on your taillights and you'll be set. As to pictures, it shouldn't be too hard to imagine...there's just a light on the back that lights up when you stop. Junkyard'll probably have the spoiler for cheap.

I just bought one W/O LED cause i already have the 3rd brake lite in the window AND the ones w/LED are more expensive... I got mine for $70 shipped.

However, on my 89 prelude i got a spoiler w/ LED and just clamped it onto the brake lite with these cheap *** little clamps that stopped working if you slammed the trunk closed too many times. so be careful as to what you use or you'll be seeing your little"Brake light" dash light a lot.

edit: Its annoying.

You can get one really cheap from ebay. I got mine for $90 with the shipping included which was $40.

I got mine used and it was black (same as my car). someone was selling one used that was red for $40.

you think soldering would be obvious but these were little clamps. Its hard to explain.... shove the spoiler wire in one end and pinch, and then clamp the other end on the brake light wire... (it actually punctured the brake light wire) no soldering was needed or even possible using this technique. sorry for being stupid, i was just trying to tell the person so they didnt go the same route i did and have the same problem.

i guess my only advice is Dont be stupid.... solder your wires.

And for anyone who is referencing this in the future, you may want to get the correct spring for your trunk so it can support the weight of the spoiler and stay open. I do not do this cause it doesnt bother me.
