    How to make a "3GEEZ" 3rd Brake Light Cut-Out

    Well, after much modification and measuring, it looks like I just might have a cut out for you guys.

    This defeats the purpose of about 70% of my How-To, but it's easy on you guys, haha. So here you go:

    http://www.freewebs.com/5cr/3rd%5FLight%5FCutout.JPG

    Right click on the link --> Properties, and make sure the picture is 626 pixels x 161 pixels


    From there, just print out the picture onto cardboard paper or whatever you want mounted onto your brake light lense (red reflector part). Then cut it out. The yellow outlining serves as a cut out guide, do NOT cut into the black part at all or it will be messed up. If you feel you can't cut on the yellow line, just cut the white around and leave the yellow line.

    Use an X-acto knife to cut out the letters in the middle, this is very tedious, so do a good job! The better you do, the sharper it will look.

    I also recommend spray painting the finished product black so that all of it is black, and there are no little tear debris on the sides of a different color.


    Please notify me if the measurments are off or anything. I can modify this if needs be.

    If any of you want to send me pics of how this turns out, I'd be more than happy to check them out. Have fun.

    That's got to be the cleanest living DX I've ever seen.

    Hey. The Honda 3rd brake lights a cool idea. Yeah, I never thought about members just replacing text if they wanted to. The measurments are already there, so all you have to do is replace the text, good deal then. And good idea Gemini2003, I think I'm going to replace mine with plastic soon, just so I know it'll look better and last longer. Whenever anyone get's pic, I wanna check them out!
