Default Third Brake Light Question

I am looking to replace the OEM third brake light with one from Ecklers. Anyone here have one installed? How do they work. Can you install a pulser?



Also if anyone has the Third Brake Light from West Coast.

Most of these are the same. You just remove the inner two tail lights, reach inside and unscrew the OEM. Then just replace it. The pulser just plugs in between the light and the harness.

Thanks, I leaning toward the West Coast brake light unpainted. As it looks like the painted version is painted over the one piece plastic housing.

You might also want to check out the ones at Brite Ideas. I have the Z06 39 LED All Lens with a pulser and love it. It's under New Products.

I got mine from Brite Ideas as well and had it painted locally to match my Precision Red car. Took me about 15 minutes to install.

I think there's a sticky in the FAQ section above this general forum.

Here's my GS/Z06-style from Brite Ideas. The case is what they call "all lens material". It's actually opaque deep red plastic. It looks great - one of the best mods I've done to my car.

Decided to go with the OEM painted full width spoiler to match the color of the car.

Thanks.
