TomoHawk Posted June 29, 2009 Share #1 Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) Has anybody ever added the third stop lamp to an S30? It could be a useful safety tool with all the tailgaters out there, and that cars like the 280Z doesn't have the different colors for brake & turn signals. One old guy actually asked me why my brake light was flashing when I was turning, and that I should fix it (the wiring) before an accident happens... Would you rather use something traditional with bulbs in it or go with the new L.E. D. style? It could be attached to the plastic cover near the dome lamp or attached directly to the window... You could even go with the roof-mounted type. Wiring it all up shouldn't be too hard after you get all the interior panels out. thxZ Edited June 29, 2009 by TomoHawk Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/32384-centrehigh-mount-stop-lamp/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arne Posted June 29, 2009 Share #2 Posted June 29, 2009 I've been considering adding one to my Z, but haven't done so yet. The ones I'm looking at are Hella LEDs as shown at the very bottom of this page: http://www.danielsternlighting.com/products/products.html Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/32384-centrehigh-mount-stop-lamp/#findComment-288283 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomoHawk Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted June 30, 2009 What would you think- Mount the brake lamp at the top or the bottom of the window? Or the roof, or under the window on the hatch?thxZ Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/32384-centrehigh-mount-stop-lamp/#findComment-288416 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inf Posted June 30, 2009 Share #4 Posted June 30, 2009 At the top of the hatch window, for sure. Mounting it at the bottom of the hatch window would be a marginal improvement in visibility over the stock brake lamps.I would not mount it on the roof, that would just look silly.

TomoHawk Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share #5 Posted June 30, 2009 The last time I inquired at an autimotive electronics shop, the guy showed me the light, and then started a big story about how its installed by drilling holes in the roof for the wires and the bolts... :eek: So I will be getting one from somewhere else., like the afore-mentioned Internet link.
