removing blackout out rear brake light

[jasnos]

gday guys,
going to despoiler my vz sv6 so i need to (legally) put in a 3rd brake light. Was going to put it in the parcel shelf were the usualy sit, however the windscreen is blacked out there. Is there away to remove that easily or is there a better way to mount a brake light???
thanks for the help guys!

You would have to be one of the unluckiest people alive to get defected due to not having a third brake light. I wouldnt bother at all

yeh it was more to the fact that i dont want some bloke running up the back of me due to them not seeing me braking!

If he misses the other two big red lights then you'll never be able to avoid it.

Have a look on eBay mate. Might be able to retrofit an LED strip on the inside of the rear window. Otherwise it is a new window.
Something like this

New 30CM Waterproof Red 5050 SMD LED Strip 12 LED - eBay, String Lights, Lighting, Fans, Home. (end time 08-Oct-10 12:18:07 AEDST)

which side is the self adhesive strip on? design to stick on the inside or outside of the windscreen?

[Bravotwozero]

Not sure mate. I have pointed you in the right direction, now you'll have to do your own research!

yeh thanks mate, worried that might look a bit takey thou....if there was a way to remove the blackout lump it would be ideal, because it would then look factory...

Bro u can get ones that go In the bottom Of the parcel
Shelf

[jasnos]

yeh i no, i found one out of a wreaked vy. but the problem is that part of the windscreen is blacked out so you wouldnt be able to see the light!

[vk.jonno]

Get one of the ones that go on the top then?

[jasnos]

yeh was thinking about getting one out of a wagon or something aswell, but there is a really think (probley a good 70mm) of the top of the windscreen blacked out as well!! its a bloody pain in the ass, donno why they do it!
was thinking masking tape the bit i wanna remove and try things like nail polish remover turps and stuff like that?

Maybe try a razor blade in an inconspicious spot..

just wondering if anyone has dared tried to razorblade the blacked out section for a third brake light as I'd like to do it but unsure if it will turn out disastrous.
