Has this been done? My "new" third brake light.

Has anyone performed this mod before? The Denali/Yukon CHMSL ($16 on E-Stink) fits the contour of my 993 tail perfectly...not sure if other tails have the same curve. Wired into the R/H brake light harness...48 LED's and BAM! Looks like that scene from "Close Encounters" when the brakes are applied (pardon my dust...black is a beyotch to keep clean):

Is that an SC? I'd like to see more pictures.
Where exactly did you get the brake light (what is e-stink)? I have a very similar tail.

I think he is referring to ebay... I really like it. Good Work!

It was an SC ('79)...(still is underneath the transplanted skin):



I found the light on E-Bay. It was from a late-model Yukon or Denali. I'm sure they're used on other Chevy trucks, too (looks very similar to the light on my '97 Astro, albeit larger).

I love those flares! I am not sure who makes or sells them though. Can someone clue me in?

Thanks

Very nice indeed.
Got a pic with the brakes on? Maybe showing the tail light brakes too for comparison?

Thanks,

I tried, but couldn't run back to the rear fast enough to snap a pic...will have to wait for an assistant.
