Can you swap the trim from a Eclipse with a 3rd brake light in the spoiler to one that dosen't?

I know that, but when you take the 3rd brake light out, there is a gap/hole and I want to know if you can take the trim from one with a 3rd brake light in the spoiler and put it into ours with no spoiler.

So you want to take the 3rd brake light out of the spoiler and put it into your car? Why not just buy a red light of your choice and make a custom enclosure for it that fits inside your car?

I think that's what he is asking. I can't see any reason why that wouldn't work.

Yeah the cyclops light.. You should just need the trim that goes around the glass part of the hatch and the lamp assembly. Cyclops light it cool to since you see your brake light in the rear view mirror :P

You guys almost had it. I have a 3rd brake light that sits on the hatch inside the car. I want to take it out, and put a piece of plastic trim there instead. So I would have no 3rd brake light.

If you end up selling that third brakelight, hit me up. Been looking for one for a while. Here in New Hampshire, cops are worse than pricks.


Everyone says I need to drop the car on it's balls...
I turn and say, "She dosnt have balls, she has a clit."

Well Crazy Eclipse, I will sell it to you IF we ever get rid of it. See I was thinking of having a 3rd brake light molded into the hatch like the spyder so thats why I want to know if I can take the piece of trim out of a eclipse with a 3rd light in the spoiler.

damn... tickets for no 3rd brake lights... i'm sorry for u guys...
many a cars here (tampa) don't have third brake lights, and lots only have one brake light... cops don't do shyt here *knock on wood*

i've had my 3rd brake light taken out for 2+ years now and no problem

btw nackers i've wanted to do that for a long time, but i don't see an in-expensive way to do it so that is way near the bottom of my wish list... if u wanna get inovative, i say take out the 3rd brake light. buy that strip 3rd brake light from the spyder, cut away part of the center tail to fit that and mount/mold it into there... thats my ghetto plan... but still not worth the time and effor for me right now, maybe one day

later
