Hi Mel, Did the exact thing about 5 years ago, used to have to stomp the brakes to turn on the lights even with a new pressure switch. I have it set to turn them on when I just touch the pedal. A bri

You might try using a set screw in the underside of bracket, which would pinch upwards into the underside of the boot lid, thus securing the bracket and light assembly. Many deck lid antenna bracket

Hi all, would suction cups be a solution? I bought a third brake light in the USA, only to find out it was a rigid construction which could not be bent to follow the shape of the body. I ended up fit

Hi all, I'm suprised no one has mentioned Bob Slaters Third brake light set up. He modifies the Third brake light to also serve as a turn signal light. He uses a rubber magnet to hold the Third brake
