Rep Power: 180

So I recently removed the stock spoiler on my car becuase I think our cars look way better without the spoiler, but here in California we need to have a 3rd brake light and I wanted to know since I removed my spoiler which had the brake light on it, Is there a way where I can install a 3rd brake light somewhere?

you have a stock 3rd brake light on the bottom of your rear window. its prob unplugged.

8th gens that have the external 3rd light have a rear deck that has no 3rd light integrated into it.

Bottom of the rear window will be the place to go, if like sl33py said you don't already have one there. You can buy LED strips online or if you want something that looks more OEM you could probably use the third brake light off of a 2003-2005 Honda Accord, the model with the elongated horizontal tails; they integrated it into the trunk deck when they went to triangular tail lights. The angle of the rear window might not be exact but should be pretty close. When I had the windows tinted on my wife's Accord the installer mentioned removing the brake light and tinting between it and the window so you should be able remove one off of a junker and drill holes in the rear shelf of your car and mount it there. A local professional auto paint should be able to help you match a spray can of SEM interior paint to paint it to match.

I have seen 7th gen factory SE models that black out the back window at the brake light area. (same black they use around perimeter of glass)

Yea this is how mine is rite now. So even if I do put a third brake light from another car the light will not go through because of it being blacked out in that area. Would it be possible to put a Red LED strip right above that area or something similar to OEM?

If you want to mount something on the outside of your trunk deck, something from here might work: http://www.watsons-streetworks.com/l...ke_lights.html
They have some billet framed lights that could be mounted on the back of your car.
There are some here that are designed to mount inside the window with no gap between the light source and the window: http://www.ronfrancis.com/products.asp?dept=25
I've never dealt with either of those vendors, just what I found on a quick google search.

Which wires are for the Brake lights that I could tap into for the third brake light?

 
Rep Power: 308

Those would be WHT/BLK and BLK.

 
Rep Power: 180

So I'm assuming the white/black is the power? And the black is the ground?

 
Rep Power: 308

^^^ correct.

What about the wiring that went to the original 3rd light you removed ? Tap into it.

Yea I just tapped into the old wiring. Finished installing it last night and it doesnt look bad. Thanks for all the help guys. One less thing I have to worry about getting pulled over for.
