The $5 LED 3rd Lamp fix

Post by Whelan »

As most of you know the product is good but its placement is slightly awkward leaving some unsightliness when your hatch is open. Well I took a trip to Lowes and for $5 picked up some weatherstripping foam with self stick. Here is the product and the final result. MUCH cleaner now! Just one of many completed projects before the meet!

Months ago I contacted a kid in Canada who I sent my lamp assembly too. He created the template, gave me one for free and sells them for $30 a piece. Here is the site. http://www.thexenonstore.com

So it looks like you didn't reinstall the red lens.I had to trim the excess material with a pair of these

The 09's come with a LED third brake light.

I have yet to see an 09 braking. Some guy in my parking garage has a white one. Snap a pic of the 09 LED lamp in action. Curious to see.

Ah yes the 4 LED lamp. The good thing is you can can easily access the board and add more to the circuit fairly easily with some solder and wiring knowledge.
