Fourth Brake Light

For those using a brake light in a rear wing. Anybody try doing this? I noticed that when Honda installed the rear wing (came ordered from factory like this) that the electrical harness that plugs into the third brake light in the cabin is identical.

Anybody know what harness to order to make this possible? I've looked on the Majestic Honda parts website, but not sure what to order.

If you have a factory installed spolier, the wiring harness that is plugged into the cabin's third brake light is removed and installed in teh spoiler wiring harness for the LED brake light.

I'm asking if it's possible to have both the third brake light in the cabin illuminate and the spolier LED illuminate when the brake pedal is applied.

^^^ can only plug in one at a time.

I would plug the supply back into the one in the back glass and then tie into the supply wiring and connect to the spoilers harness (without a plug)

You will need to observe the proper polarity when going to the spoilers harness.

The coupes 3rd light can be seen with a spoiler, the sedans 3rd light is pretty much blocked.

I couldn't visualize it with both of them on. I really can't say for sure if it would look gaudy or nice. That's why I'm going to experiment.

My plug harness only has one plug, not two. What year and model? Maybe certain trims or years have both harnesses.
