Rep Power: 304 I cant understand most of what you said...except that you got a spoiler. Do you mean you dont want the third brake to light up since you have the led on the spoiler? You can just unplug it yourself if thats the case

Rep Power: 0 All Honda does is hook up the light in the spoiler and unplug the 3rd brake light. So the only one that lights up is the spoiler. The housing for the 3rd light is still there, it just doesn't work. As for removing it entirely, it would involve removing the rear deck, cutting out the area where the light is, and fabricating a new piece that would fit in there. If you're good with fibreglass, then go for it. But I think that most places made it a law that all newer cars have to have that light, spoiler or not.

Rep Power: 0 i wouldnt go through all that just to get the stupid third brake light out, thats stupid, just leave it there, its natural for every car and nobody cares that it is there, the only reason i wouldnt want it there is because of tinting, if i got my window tinted i would want that lil cubby under it tinted to, which is hard to get to
