LED Third Brake Light?

Post by eger »

I know I saw an LED third brake light replacement that spelled "VIBE" somewhere, but I can't find it now. Any ideas?

There is a LED brake light replacement and there is also a VIBE overlay for the brake light. But not a LED brake light that lights up VIBE all in one.You could get the overlay and stick it on the brake light. Or you could get the LED replacement and then stick the overlay on that.

Thanks! I sure thot I saw something like that here back in '06 when I bought the car. Must have been the overlay you mention. Seemed like a good idea, tho.

http://www.thexenonstore.comYou can get the LED 3rd brake from there, it's a plug n' play and I love mine. Although I had to wait a month cause he used my lamp as the template, but who cares, I got mine for free. Worth the $30 though if you have it.

How difficult is it to replace the stock bulb with the led matrix?

I looked on website. Is is really no too difficult to install and keep mounted so you don't have shaking, etc. ? Looks like a nice mod on the site. Thanks.

I had to trim the circuit board a bit as it didn't quite fit the housing right, but other than that it works fine!I have the overlay on it as well but didn't take a photo of it before I was rear ended.Car's going in the shop tomorrow. I'll see it when I get back from vacation. Should have the spoilers on as well so look forward to seeing some pictures!

i got mine off ebay. it only has 2 rows of led, but it was made for the vibe. at any rate, easy install guys, plugs directly into the socket that the normal bulb would plug into.
