Yeah I'd be interested. Although I may just attach an LED strip in there for a third brake light.

Since we're on the subject. I have had these on my car for about 5 years with no problems. They cost about 23 bucks for the pair with 36 led's per unit. I stuck them to the underside of the top louver. I've not even had a problem with the supplied adhesive or bulbs. I like them kinda hidden, l just don't care for the on top look.

I was thinking of adding a 3rd brake lamp however only thing holding me back is running the wire and hiding it as best as possible. Did you guys who installed them do a good job at that?

I ran mine inside the passenger side louver buffer strip. The wire is stiff enough where it pretty well just goes straight along the underside of the louver until it gets to the edge. You don't see it from inside or outside the car unless the louvers are up.

Yeah, I am thinking the only other way to run it would be to drill a hole into the fiberglass near the right side louver hinge. Then, somehow fish it through from there down around the rear window and into the wiring section on the right side.

Here's my installation of the light I posted above.
I used this video from Delorean tech for the wiring. This video shows how to put the wires down this hidden channel in the fender.

There is a thread on this.

It would be kind of nice if you guys would copy this stuff over to it for those that search and find it. I have my lights, but if they break, I might want to switch to one of these. But I’ll never find them in this thread.

Oh darn. I came out this weekend over the Christmas break to do some detailing on the front suspension (probably won't drive much this winter so wanted to wipe off last year's grime) and found a little puddle on the floor under the engine. On further investigation I found it to be coolant, with a small pool of it sitting on a casting fin on the water pump, and shining a light upwards I see the weep hole is leaking. Looks like I'll be doing a water pump job! I won't complain too much though because this PJ Grady pump lasted nearly 22 years and survived a minor overheating incident two years ago, removal and re-installation when I did the frame off, and certainly not regular-enough coolant changes (which I swear I will start doing from here on out!). Actually I'm looking forward to the swap out because I know everything is so easy to remove now - I just took the intake off like a month ago! And I replaced the three pump mount bolts last year. Should be an easy job this time!
