Third Brake Light

I ordered a third brake light from CBS. It turned up today so fancied fitting it. 

I am not the best at drilling and tapping so decided to take my time. 

First I taped up the area and measured up the middle. 

The first hole to drill was for the cable going in the roll cage.

Hole drilled.

Its impossible to drill up into the bottom of the roll cage so I've made a small hole that will come out under the boot cover.

I used the left over excess handbrake cable to pull though the wiring.

With the wiring in place I marked up the holes that needed drilling and tapping.

The first hole drilled and tapped. 

All done, really pleased with the results.. Drilling and tapping is not my strongest point so glad it went well.

Nice and bright, I should be seen with this.  After IVA I will fit a flasher unit, they seem legal now, will flash for a few moments when you first apply the brake and then go solid. It won't repeat the cycle if the brakes are pressed within 7 seconds but will after this.

Rear lights part two

Managed to get some more bolts ordered up so finished off the lights.

First job was to replicate the holes I had drilled on the passenger side. 

Fog light, I matched the hight of the rear brake lights.

Then the same again with the reverse light.

The finished results... Looking good..  :)

Rear lights..

Made a start on the rear lights..  Taped up the the back end where each light was going to go.

I started off marking up where other owners had fitted there lights. After sometime I realised I was using different lights so the measurements didn't make sense.

Here is where I decided to fit the lights, I measured the max and min areas for the IVA.

Lights taped into position, they could be lower but best to be seen.

Quite pleased with the results. I am missing some bolts so will have the delay doing the rest.
