I had this idea to realise a third brake light already for a long time: I was absolutely convinced it was possible. However, there is little room under the roof and in front of the edge of the back window: too little for the normal third brake lights: I have never seen one that was small enough. So, I have taken a bare flexible LED strip without housing consisting of 24 LEDs and 24 cm long. This strip is waterproof and very small: it fits easily in the available room. It is just a matter of installing the strip on the chassis with a double faced adhesive tape and connecting it with the normal brake light. By janverdam at 2008-02-26 As you can see the LED strip is invisible if it is not on. By janverdam at 2008-02-26 By janverdam at 2008-02-25 By janverdam at 2008-02-25 I like this solution because you do not have to change anything in your car to get a third brake light and because of its invisibility.

Looks neat and tidy, i must say it looks nice, as does your car, ive got one of those light sets to fit at some point and seeing it on yours gives me a good idea (since they are red). I'd like to see some of the other things that people have done to improve their cars. I think this was also done some time ago my Lennart ? see http://www.matrasport.dk/Cars/Murena/Conv/P1.9i-8v-ls/brklight/index.htmlGreat minds think alike!

yes, - except mine is on the inside of the rear hatch glass - fitted on the rubber-seal on the vertical glass separating engine and passenger compartment. /Lennart
Exactly. I knew the way Lennart did it, but preferred to try my solution. I do not know what rear spoiler it is, there is no mark or brand name. My last Murena had the same rear spoiler and that was a Kiefer. Jan

Or is that handywork on the computer?

I didn't mean to make the one solution sound better than the other, - sorry if it seemed so. /Lennart
Nor did I and I did not understand your text in that way. And hru's brake light looks nice also. Jan

Cheers. Your spoiler looks good painted body colour. I like the S spoiler but only if it stays black - I don't know why...... I have a different black murena spoiler (smaller) which I am not too keen on and a Renault 19 spoiler that looks quite similar to the one that you have but I think it might be a bit short across the back of the car. Would you mind measuring it at it's widest point? David Obviously I am reluctant to start drilling holes to fit either unless I am convinced they are the best option!
