Do you have to have a 3rd brake light when puttin OEM gst spoiler on a gs, i was told the ABS light will come on, and if so how do u think i mount a ligh tin the window..i was thinkin maybe wire the LED from my gs spoler into the window somehow. any suggestions or help with knowing if abs light will come or if u even need 3rd brake light. thanx

I have a 98 GST, and I dont even have a 3rd brake light. It's in my "factory extras" bin.
 
I have a GS with the OZ Package mine came with the Turbo wing and that stupid brake light i removed it because it was to damn bright it is also in my factory extras bin if you would like to buy it PM me if you want.

so the 3rd brake light wont do anything with ABS, wont make the ABS light come on...i can just leave off 3rd brake light when puttin on gst spoiler?

I am still trying to make the connection between the spoiler and 3rd brake light. What do they have to do with each other?
 
You dont need the light, it's there because most car companies believe you need a light in better 'eye level' view of other vehicles. The Eclipse and Talon dont really need them though since we have big and pretty bright taillights...that and the car looks better without that dumb little light in the window(it also tends to rattle against the window..at least mine did).

If some body have it i would like to buy it, or somebody can give it to me for free... The only thing is that i am from Europe (Latvia), so i need somebody who can ship it to Latvia... I can pay through the paypal for shipping charges!

Sorry for my English... :)

All good my man....have you check out dsmgraveyard or ebay...im sure they'll have it there also.
 
Thanks for replay, i asked him for shipping to LV... The shipping + b-light is 80$ i think it is very expensive... :ohdamn:
That is why i am asking here!
 
I allready checked ebays from ebay.de and ebay.co.uk... There is no those brake lights... They are very rare there in europe... In Latvia i know only 1 dsm who have this brake light... And i am the person who knows almost every dsm in Latvia! :)
 
I am also lost with what the connection between the spoiler and brake light is. To try and help answer the question, I removed the 3rd brake light and it didn't affect the ABS light in any way. So you don't need it, if you don't want it.
 
just and fyi, not sure about other state, but PA requires you to have a 3rd brake light. i've been driving without mine for the last 2 months with no issues, but my buddies dad is state police and told me.
 
If you have some skills you might be able to adapt any other cars third brake light to yours, just go to a junkyard and look around for one that you like and mount it. It should be easy if you find the right one.
 
I actually traded brake lights with a local. My GST/GSX 3rd brake light for his RS 3rd brake light. The result:

all 4 of them....


i was just wondering this a couple days ago actually...

I did not understand you!
We have a lot of 1g and 2g dsms in Latvia

Also we have a friends from Lithuania and Estonia...

If you have some skills you might be able to adapt any other cars third brake light to yours, just go to a junkyard and look around for one that you like and mount it. It should be easy if you find the right one.

Thanks for ideas, but...

I am looking for oem parts, i don't want to make something that could look worst than original... OEM is the best! :shhh:

Reason why i am looking for third brake light, is for my safety... Because previous owner of this car tinted rear lights, and in sunny days it is actualy imposible to see them... As you know the car is pretty fast, and also it's equipped with evo brembo brakes, so it's stops very good... So i don't want that somebody crush my cars back...

In Latvia cars which are younger than 2001 year must be equipped with a third brake light, older ones can be or can not be equipped with a third brake light, both ways are acceptable...

P.S. Brake light is still missing! As i know 97-99 gst, gsx and 99 gs eclipses was equipped with this light! :hmm:
 
its a reflection off the wing

Have you tried to bypass it by just connecting a wire from one side of tr he post to the other this usually works and solves the problem. It let's the computer know its active
