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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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!

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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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!!

Quote, originally posted by Whelan »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!

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.
