Brake lights

Postby TRD_ZERO » Mon Aug 20, 2007 6:00 pm

I got my boot of my ae111 de spoilered while all the repairs are getting done. Now the spoiler has a brake light on it. When i remove it what do i get to replace it if i need it replaced. DOnt say use the brake light that sits in the back window from the ae111s that dont come with spoilers, as that one sits at the bottom of the rear tray and i have a windscreen wiper blocking it. What should i do?

hard to do well, as the angle of the screen makes most brake lights ineffective

You can buy a high stop for all windscreen angles, put one at the top or put one either side of your rear wiper at the bottom.
