I still have mine, it's up in the attic with all my other parts that I have stored away. I was thinking of donating it to Andreas so he can make a piece of art out of it.

I actually like the handle too, although an RS tail would look better IMHO.

This is a lame thread hijack... but if anyone ends up removing their basket handle and wants to sell the light element, or even some of the bulbs on it, please PM me.

Sergio, this is the first time I noticed your avatar is sans basket handle, while your actual car still has one.

LOL...and my actual car doesn't have a split grill either.

I actually like the way the basket handle looks in a Cab.

However, if I had an RS or Turbo tail, I would remove the handle.

Double-lame from me, sorry! I need bulbs as well if anyone has them to spare.

Hated mine. Removed and installed split grill at the same time. Was going to install the 96 and later brake light, but like the clean look without.

I removed mine when installing the RS tail and never got around to adding the rear window light. Since I drive my car mainly on backroads and at autocrosses and track events, I wasn't as worried about the safety aspect. If questions, I'll tell them its a pre-1986 car with updated body panels

But, since it is a cab, I do not have the option of the roof mounted 3rd brake light.

What, if anything, can be done about this?
An acquaintance used this to rid himself of the high brake light; $20 Autozone part purchased years ago.

Anyone who can tap into their brake light feed should be able to install this self-adhered LED strip.
