Tom are you really that butt hurt that I think this LED light is not worth a $100 to me? I dont see why you would be as its my view and my money. I do a lot of my own mods and repairs and have no issues with people spending money to have someone else do it for them. Its obvious whats the problem here and its not me. So I'm no longer responding to your childish posts antagonizing me as I do have better things to do and it shows in how my LS is modded.

Default LED Third Brake Light

I actually have bought a LED Third Brake Light from the ebay seller but for my 240sx.

I can vouch for the quality I have had mine on my car for 2 years and none of the LED's have gone out.

Looks good, but I can't justify the price for what it is. Still very cool someone made this

I just wish someone would do a "Bentley" style brake light. Full strip across the glass, whether on the bottom or top. I personally think it would look awesome.

I have seen universal strips like that. You order the exact length you want and wire them up

It lights only when the brake is applied. Offer the seller a lower price ($100) than the "Buy Now" list price.

I got this and installed it, it is awesome, I love it!!

I always wanted a LED 3rd brake light to match the OEM LED taillights on my 05', but I always envision, or hope to have a full length one across the rear window like the Bentley Continental or Tesla Model S. But those would have to be custom made and custom mounted = big expenses.........many hundreds, if not thousand of dollars.

This one is perfectly designed and made, plug and play into the stock location. It is awesome and low cost. To whoever that said he can make this for much less then $140, his time must either worth very little or he have absolutely nothing else to do, which I envy you.

I also had some inter-action with the ebay seller, he is one very honest and awesome guy!!

To anyone who want this, hurry up and buy one before he stop making them.

Here is the ebay link:

That's the one I'm wanting to do.

Glad you liked this, BNR34. Folks spend $$$$ on more expensive, frivolous mods, or on repairs that could be done more inexpensively, but find no value in this.

I too had some communication with the seller who designed and built this, and agree that he is truly an honest car enthusiast who owns a '04 LS430. He designs and builds similar LED lights for other vehicles as well. There's only one of these LED lights left for sale so others must've seen these as a nice improvement over the stock filament brake bulb as well.

I think everyone want that because it would look great on this big body sedan, but making that cleanly and correcly would cost major $$$$.

Post pics if you get it done
