Roundel and Third brake led lights

[Tundra]

As the brake lights on the coupes are not very bright/visible I installed a third brake red led light between the headliner and rear glass. Hopefully it'll help whoever is behind me to notice when I brake or slow down. They are available at Pep Boys and Advance Auto Parts in different lengths and colors. About $20 2 years ago.

Also installed a green led light behind the pillar Roundel. It also acts as a turn signal for blind spots. It may not be for everyone but looks nice at night.

Pictures are not great, used cell phone.

wow ! the light in the roundel is exceptional, can it be yellow ?
to add a little more glamour do not forget to paint some flames in the lateral of your car, probably that will help acting as a warning sign for careless drivers around
ha, ha, ha,...

Could you tell us the part number please?

(For the brake light…)

deQuincey,

You mean like this? Thats coming next.

I don't recall if the lights come in yellow.

exactly, you are quickly approaching the peak of visibility and notice, just remember about the "slippery slope" that is always there...:mrgreen:

Henrik,

Here is a link for Pep Boys and the item. It doesn't specify what color it is so you need to make sure you get red. They are now $40. for 2 strips.

Here is the link for the part. In the search box, top right, you can also type in 'led strip' and different options will come up.

Hopefully the link works.

The link works. I need a good visible (when activated) brake light for my CSL project car.
Thanks!

Henrik, I added something to my previous post. You can do a search for different led lights.By the way, I would be surprised if auto parts shops in Norway would not carry those.

I've been looking for these in Norway, but have not found anyone that's ok. I have a third brake light in my CS but I want one that is more discreet in my new project. Possibly they are sold in electronics stores, however the shipment of such small parts from the United States is not that expensive.
