Re: [DML] 3rd Brake Light/Led Lights

Andy, no intention on bashing your car, but the vision from the rear 
view mirror should be able to see the gap between the top and 2nd 
louvers. What I noticed on your car and I've noticed on many other 
cars is that the interior headliner panel starts sagging (not the 
fabric, but rather the fiberboard) and blocks this view. Mine is 
doing this on the sides, and I'm going to reinforce it with a metal 
strip before I recover it.

On many other DeLoreans what I have noticed is this same GM light 
(from thier line of SUVs, check it out next time your behind a 
Blazer) is that they mount it underneith the top louver, effectively 
hiding it completely untill your actually braking, much more 
streamlined in my opinion. You would either need to cut the louver 
brace or cut the LED assembly in half to do this though. In either 
case, it is a very effective light, and probably the best choice for 
any 3rd-light installations.
