Clear third brake light question.

[Allen K. Littlefield]

Ahh thank you Jeph, that is what I was looking for. I have the silver bulb in my clear tailights as you do. Now you will have to paint those bumper blocks. I like the clean look with everything silver. I also covet your Carrera spoke wheels. I imagine the light comes with instructions to determine if the polarity is correct or not but I imagine I will have to cut the wires, something I am loath to do especially if I eventually sell the car and want to put it back to bone stock. Thanks again for your response.

Its mentioned in the directions that if when plugged in, the light doesnt work, you may have to cut the wires and switch sides. I plugged mine in, and it didnt work. I switched the wires, and it worked fine.

i installed the clear 3bl from bumperplugs.
i did NOT cut any wires. have no idea why you would have to.
surprisingly bumperplugs was the cheapest place i could find this at.
looks great. lights look great.

Simple. Because unlike incandescent bulbs, LEDs are polarized.

Ordered the third brake light in silver from Eric the 'Plug Meister' last night so I will post pics when I have installed it. Looking forward to a little "global warming" to get us out of the record cold weather in the NE. My garage is not heated so I will have to wait until it is warm enough for my fingers to function while changing out the light.
