    I was on my way to work and saw a '97-'03 Grand Prix with a fourth brake light between the tail lights and below the trunk lid lip. It looked a lot like a short version of the line of fire on a truck. The whole line light up when he hit the brakes so all four lights lit up and each half lit up when he used the turn signal.

    Anyone ever one this before? Any ideas on how to do this?

    Thanks for any ideas or tips.

    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    So like mine lol.

    I used 2 12" red led strips from autozone. Munted end to end with the wires by each tail light. Then I drilled a small hole thru the bumper and chassis and ran the wire inside..Extended the wires and splaced them into the third brake light. I use silicone to seal the small hole sin the chassis. If you want them to blink you would have to use the tail ligts as your power source. LMK if you have any questions.

    Eric

    Heres one with the brakes on


    And heres one where you can kind of see thge strip, it hides pretty good.

    your stuck between a rock and a hardplace when your on a dismounted patrol and the medic has "feelings" and youve hurt them so he wants to take his sweetass time. you can a: hurt the medic which makes you feel better but doesnt help your ailment. b: steal the medics aidbag, and try to figure things out yourself which usually ends in more pain or c: tell him your really sorry and im sure he'll get his 4 someday and he gets happy and fixes you...then you call him a dbag and get a new medic lol
