Default 3rd Brake Light FS and LED strip

$20.00 for the strip.
$55.00 for the Porsche Brake Light.
Both are new, never installed.

I call dibs on the LED strip. What did the strip come from originally? Have any more info on it? Could you also tell me the dimensions (L&W)?

thanks!

The strip is 15" long, 1" tall and 3/4 wide. It can also be wired for turn signal and brake light or just brake light.

Tony - does the brake lamp come with the glue & trim that goes on the glass? if it doesn't and anyone needs that too - I bought a spare for mine, but was able to reinstall the stock one So I no longer need it and its available if someone needs to make up a full set for install (or maybe you already have one included?) .

Thought I,d just post some pictures of my "Home made" 3rd brake light set up, I did this about 9 years ago, and everyone comments and says they thought it was factory fitted, so cant be bad eh.

To cover the brake light mountings I cut a strip of black sticky backed vinyl topped off with a "PORSCHE" decal which runs full width of rear top glass area, hope it meets with approval.

Looks like Ken came up with a clever application that looks factory.

Just the other night, I noticed my third break light was not fully attached to the rear window, but haven't had a chance to look at it closer with decent lighting yet. I’m guessing at a minimum, I could use the glue/trim strip and depending on the condition of the lamp, I might just replace the whole thing.

Does the lamp include everything need to affix it to the glass?

The light comes in 2 main parts the bulb holder wedge shaped part (further dissasembles but this is what drops down for bulb replace when you remove the screws) - and the ~flat mounting plate that glues to the glass. That plate also comes with a thin foam adhesive ring to attach it to the glass. I believe I have both the plate & adhesive (haven't seen if for a while).

Seems like the OP here has everthing but the adhesive ring... if I'm reading correctly
