3rd Brake Light being shipped!!!

Whelan · Post by **Whelan** » Thu Sep 06, 2007 10:10 pm

It's done! He sent me this pic of the completed unit. He said it's a 98% fit which means that it fits the shape very well. Looks great and cannot wait to get it on the Trix!!!He wants to know the interest and who is up for buying one, he said within a week or two he will have them available for sale for approximately $37 shipped. That is a really good price. So I will post another interest thread in For Sale to see who is interested.

that is a good price for me not having to design and make my own...let us know with lots of pics!

Agreed. With pics and opinions from you, I'd potentially be interested.

Kamikaze · Post by **Kamikaze** » Fri Sep 07, 2007 2:16 am

I'm interested. How easy/hard would it be to install though?

northvibe · Post by **northvibe** » Fri Sep 07, 2007 5:18 am

should be pretty easy to install, kind of a plug'n'play mod.

Toasted7 · Post by **Toasted7** » Fri Sep 07, 2007 5:21 am

I wanna know what everyone else said... and I'd be interested in buying one if you give it a good review cause that is a great price.

Whelan · Post by **Whelan** » Fri Sep 07, 2007 7:42 am

Plug n play. The lamp housing is what I sent him so its my own OEM. The kit will just be the LED bar and plug. It literally plugs right into the socket you have there for the stock bulb.

I'm in for one...

Kamikaze · Post by **Kamikaze** » Sat Sep 08, 2007 10:29 am

Whelan, when you get it all together count me in, just tell me where to send the money.

Whelan · Post by **Whelan** » Mon Sep 10, 2007 12:30 am

Just got the email, he is shipping mine out today, has about 50 in production ready for stock. He should have them up on his site in about a week. Great guy to deal with, always communicated and updated. Can't wait to get this thing on.Can someone confirm for me though that the Vibe 3rd light is identical to the Trix? Just wanna have bases covered. Cost is I believe $37 shipped. I will post the link to it when it becomes available!

Kamikaze · Post by **Kamikaze** » Wed Sep 12, 2007 3:07 am

Whelan, Just send me your brand new beautiful 3rd brake light, and I'll try it in my vibe.... if you're lucky it won't fit and I'll send it back! Seriously: does anybody know if the trix and the vibe's 3rd brake light are the same?

Whelan · Post by **Whelan** » Wed Sep 12, 2007 3:58 am

Take yours apart and throw up a pic or two. I took a look at some random persons GT today in the parking lot near my office, they look very similar.

If I can't do it tonight (gotta work) I should be able to do it tomorrow night. (unless someone else can beat me to it)

ramenboy... · Post by **ramenboy...** » Wed Sep 12, 2007 5:26 am

it should fit the vibe/matrix.when i got mine off ebay, it was shown on a matrix. good fit. and like whelan said, the whole thing should plug into the socket instead of a bulb.looks great whelan

ramenboy... · Post by **ramenboy...** » Wed Sep 12, 2007 5:29 am

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...wItemthat's the one i got. sad to say, this one whelan's got made is a bit better looking...i may have to break down and get the 3 row too.

Whelan · Post by **Whelan** » Wed Sep 12, 2007 5:46 am

I was so close to getting that when I realize I could have made one for less than $50. That and I didn't want to spend the cash. I found this guy on the Mazda 3 forum, emailed him a few times, and shipped my unit out. Figured I could benefit others as well who wanted one.Can't wait, I hope shipping from Ontario doesn't take too long.

Raivis · Post by **Raivis** » Wed Sep 12, 2007 9:34 am

id be up for one they look sweet. plus with the decal im putting on it will work even better

Whelan · Post by **Whelan** » Wed Sep 12, 2007 9:47 pm

Well he shipped from Canada on Monday so figure 2-3 days ground should be at my house tonight, sucky thing is my car is not back yet so I won't be able to install it until Monday after I get back from the weekend lake trip.

Kamikaze · Post by **Kamikaze** » Sat Sep 15, 2007 4:28 am

Whelan,Here are 2 pics from my 06 Vibe. I'm pretty sure all is the same.

WaveAction · Post by **WaveAction** » Mon Sep 17, 2007 11:40 am

once you get a GP on this..im up for one definitly..so sign me up for one

Whelan · Post by **Whelan** » Mon Sep 17, 2007 12:45 pm

I met up with a Vibe owner from here in New Haven and sold him my Helix for $50. I took the opportunity to look at his 3rd brake. It is identical so you are all in luck!!

Kamikaze · Post by **Kamikaze** » Mon Sep 17, 2007 10:37 pm

Whelan, just tell me what I gotta do to get one of these, I'm willing to give the guy my business!

northvibe · Post by **northvibe** » Mon Sep 17, 2007 11:11 pm

whelan is just a tease

Kamikaze · Post by **Kamikaze** » Mon Sep 17, 2007 11:38 pm

Quote, originally posted by Whelan Â»So I will post another interest thread in For Sale to see who is interested.Whelan, I'm sure you are busy, and I don't mean to be a pest, I've been looking for an LED brake light just like this one, so I'm really excited about it. I'm assuming you are getting everything together, and getting the light before you create your post in the F.S. section. I'm just trying to stay on top of this thread cuase... I REALLY WANT ONE!

Whelan · Post by **Whelan** » Thu Sep 20, 2007 4:51 am

No teasing here. I am waiting for stupid postal service to ship. I guess it takes like 10 days or something ridiculous. I just called my dad and nothing has come to the house yet today, f'in A! So another day wasted.Once I get it I will take pics of it, install it, take some day/night shots, put a nice post on here with all the pics and then send the pics to Devin so he can post them on his site for sale, then I will put the link to his site in the FS section so all can enjoy.Trust me people, you think you got an itch waiting. You have no idea, I feel like I have chicken pox all over again.
