QUOTE would one of these lights mount on the bottom side of the targa bar? I doubt it - the curvature in it is almost or is the same as the engine lid. The bottom side of the targa bar is opposite that and that would leave a nice gap between the bottom of the light to the targa bottom. M |

This is a pic of the wiring I used to tie into the harness - it has a two prong disconnect. Two wires were used - one a hot lead tied into the main harness and connected to the rear brake light wire and a ground wire connected to the ground behind the relay board.

The hot lead tied into the main harness and is connected to the black wire with dashed yellow. This is a pic of the connect.

Don't laugh but... would you happen to have one in "torch red"? I know it's a GM red... hoping you'd have one.

Get that VIN ? Group: Members Posts: 9,527 Joined: 1-May 03 From: Sunset Beach, CA Member No.: 643 Region Association: Southern California |
Received the brake light a while back and am getting ready to install. I have an extra targa top and was thinking of molding it into the center rear part. Any one else thought of this ? Would need to have disconnect at the roof...

I like it on the engine lid !
But what about turning it into a foglight. My foglight is nicely hidden at the back, but I will install a rear reflector this winter so I'm losing the spot. And since I hate those foglights pending down from the rear ... Anyone an idea how it could be done ? Is it enough to change the bulbs ? |

I do not believe it would pass the photometric requirements for size. You would need to check with the appropiate law in that country to determine this. I do know these meet and exceed the minimum light output for use as a 3rd brake light in the US.

regular shot of it...really blends in well. A couple of people have commented "Wow..porsche was using a 3rd light in the 70s!"
