High Level Brake & Indicator Lights
hobbit:
I use a high leve brake light led strip fitted in the middle top of the back door glass
Also I'm fitting a couple of stick on led units which are meant for use as wing mirror repeaters on the rear side panels as my other indicators are in the bumper, al I have to do is drill a small hole for the wires at the required height, do the job and not so prone for blowing

Hmmmm...not to sure to be honest mate, but what might set it off a bit is making something similar to your "template" out of thin ally plate and sikaflexing it to the body. They just look very small at the mo and I'm not sure you'd notice them, where a piece of ally might make them stand out a bit more, and also hide youe wandering drill marks!
I do think you are on to something though and top marks for having the cojonnes to drill the old girl!
Terranosaurus:
I thought about buying a high level brake light for my truck but found I got two free with my lift kit.
Is that wiring "loom" available with a ragu sauce. :lol:
Range Rover Blues:
Ok so now you've tried it, are they brigh tenough to make any difference?
I ask becasue I'm trying some LED bulbs and TBH they are too dim, I get away with putting a suposedly 21watt bulb in my sidelights :roll:
Anyhoo, if you are pleased with them then I'd suggest designing MkII, like you say with a nice black anodised trim or whatever. If you don't like them then I'd suggest a bit of checker plate to cover the area and a set of worklights to cover the whole incident up.
Personally I think you are very brave setting about your car with a drill just to try something out.
Myself for a rear brake light I'd have gone with a central stick-on one in the back window, it's what most drivers expect to see.
As for LEDs, the one advantage is how much faster they light up :shock: , seriously, they do.
As for Scotchlocks, not a fan either but at least with LEDs you aren't drawing any current across them so as long as the orignial wiring isn't damaged.

I cannot believe that word was moderated
I was referring to the low quality of the modification, rather than trying to bypass moderation by using an alternative for the word excrement, and according to this link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crap
'Note that this word can be considered a curse word, yet is considered mild enough that even a child may use it informally.'
I suspect even the wikipedia link will be moderated, due to the forum software being written in the US.
The software doesn't recognise UK english spelling, which is really annoying, one might even use the word moderated here to describe the software quality.
