Not sure if this is the right place for this or not, but here it goes. I’m tired of the 3rd brake light in my teg and want to remove it. The only thing is I’ll have 2 holes in my glass that I’ll need to fill. Has anyone done this, and if so, what did you use to fill the holes? I tried to search for this but came up with nada. Thanks for the help.
removed mine, but left the plastic tabs in the hatch glass. not sure if there is any plugs to get rid of the holes.
You do know that in many states that is illegal. you might want to check first unless you like to talk to the cops alot.
ahh, the hell with whether its legal or not. pleanty of cars don’t have 3rd brake lights. i got rid of mine, since i have the LED spoiler one and having 2 is stupid.
if you want to fill it use black windshield adhesive, after its baked on it practically unbreakable and waterproof.
i’m not sure exactly where to buy the stuff, but you can have a glass shop/tint shop do it for you.
either you can do that to get rid of the holes, or spend $310 on the FAL hatch. This is the better way IMO, because you get rid of the 2 brake light holes and the antenna hole.

you have to remember, just because you care could less whether its legal or not, doesn’t mean other people will also. some of us out there like to be legal and not get hassled for stuff. not only that, but many people like to drive around knowing that the person behind them can see if they are braking or not with the 3rd brake light incase the tail light brake bulbs fail.
well you dont need a 3rd brake like, and im 80% sure you wont get pulled over for it in any state. why do i say this? because most cops arent very car litterate and cant tell whether it was there or not in the first place!
ya, ive never seen a cop come up to a car and look at the rear hatch and say “hmmm, u dont have a third brake light”, thats ridiculous. Most cops just hand u the speeding ticket, noise violation or whatever, and then go back. If a cop actually took the time to check, it would shock me.
reusue the exisiting cap/bolt bit… easy… it’s like the rear wiper delete. reuse msot of the botls etc.
after you remove it, watch out when it rains, those 2 seals suck, their damaged from the sun usually, and water can easily get in. i had to find 2 plastic washers to use to make it seal tighter.
if your window is tinted or going to be tinted, you could use silicone in the holes to cover them up, and it will seal them for leaks
i checked here locally. it is illegal to remove any saftey feature from any vechicle. my back windows are tinted double black. couldnt see the light anyway.
i was pulled over for other reasons and was questioned. thats why i just purched one from a member.
If you can’t see the light, why even have it? and WOW, i can’t believe any cop would actually have enough sence to check for a 3rd brake light, or question you on it…maybe a san diego cop, but anywhere else thats rediculous…
how do u remove the third brake light? i have a JDM spoiler with the LED. so i want to run the wires to the spoiler and remove the third brake light. it wont be illegal cuz of the new spoiler. how do i remove the third brake light?
I did that when I put on my LED 3rd brake light. I’ll take pictures soon.
Hmmmm
im thinking to remove mine cuz mine doesnt even work so i dont know wuz wrong with it but im really thinkin to take mine off and hide the plugs or cut them and my friend did dat and it looks nice without it
let me buy that
hey if your 3rd brake light fits a 91 i will buy them off u :drunks:
