3rd Third Brake Light Removed & Relocated -- DIY How-To

[SamG]

Not a huge fan of the stock location either - not for any cosmetic reasons, but when it snows heavily, it piles up on the tire and covers the break light entirely.

Beautiful. I had a black 2000, but was always a bigger fan of the simplicity of Gen1s. I had a buddy with red '95 and his sister in law had a white '94. They randomly pop up on BringATrailer - I keep watching for the right one.

I didn’t like the location of the stock 3rd brake lamp & I wanted to make room for larger tires. There’s not many options out currently & the ones that are available just don’t look great. I purchased this kit from Amazon that was made for a Jeep Wrangler but made it work on the Bronco. Needless to say I’m pretty happy with the results & the new look. Let me know what you guys think.

Bro!!! Easy clap! I would say best simplistic mod yet

Thanks for the video. Do not like this look at all. I think Oracle Lighting has this same wheel kit for the Bronco for $80. Unfortunately, it uses the same crappy vampire clips. There's got to be something better!

Anybody with screenshots?

Or pics of final look? Was the OE brake light really relocated or removed?

Yeah they’re getting more expensive as time goes on.

What you could do & I prob should do as well is just cut off the factory connection & leave some wire left & just splice the new ones together. There’s more then enough slack in both harnesses

Seems weird that you don't want to watch yet expect someone else to get the info for you. I mean the guy did the install to show and help uds all. If you click on it in the thread there are no advertisements to waste your preciouse time. I will answer your question though..... It looks fine. It looks like your typical jeep install and it was a good video.

I am still not sure if I am a fan of this look but I appreciate the video. Nice and simple. I am a fan of the cost and affectivness of getting more rear view visibility.

I like deleting it from where it is, but I'm not a fan of putting it in the wheel either. I think at the top of the glass would have been better. I'd love someone to make a bracket that goes up there that relocates the brake light AND gives us two mounting spots for chase lights

EDIT: further comment I suppose this also frees up that space for a spare tire platform nicely

No, don't expect... Just asking...

No worries if it's just like a jeep install. Seen those.

Thanks!

Honestly…not a fan. I’ve seen this mod on waaaayyyy too many Jeep’s, and it has nothing to do with being a Jeep thing and everything to do with the fact that I’m not looking at someone’s spare tire when behind them so I rarely notice when the in-wheel-brake light is on. I’ll take the high mount safety feature over cool kids mod everyday.

I think this is a great idea.

EXCEPT FOR THE FACT I HAVE A SPARE TIRE COVER AND THAT KILLS THAT.

Really like it though. the comment about the snow buildup on the light is right on the button.

Seen this look on too many Jeeps.

Great instructional video though.

Get rid of a single diffused red glow and replace with a hundred tiny red leds... I don't get it. Cool that op is happy, this is just a trend you see on a lot of trucks /4x4s right now. I think it looks cheap, looks like any other $18 led kit from China that you get on Amazon. Also just feels way too much like Christmas lights.

Well made video though, good content regardless!
