    Arrow third brake light and hyper whites

    My first question:

    I am done with wiring up the 3rd brake light which is now a bar LED. I am considering the position of it. Do u guys think its better to have it where the stock one was or put it on the roof? Bottom of the rear window or the top of it? The top is kinda hard to mount it, but if u guys think its gonna be cool, i can do it

    Second Question:

    Is hyper white bulbs worth the investment? I am trying to be rice cause u know, i got some performance shit goin in. So what u guys think on that? hyper whites for the bumper and corners and back? or just the bumper and corner?

    or just the bumper and corner?
    what exactly is meant by bumpers..
    I actually just installed rear bumper markers just after the wheel well, such as on 5th gen accords and 4th gen ludes...
    i got superwhite headlights..they are WAY better..
    i also got custom clear blinkers with superwhites and superwhites in front markers.

    It gives you the compromise for the taller trucks and shorter lowered minis to see your brake lights. You don't want ppl to smack your arse

    well i still got tail lights. These LED are pretty bright. I had 3 of em on sale in the market place seems like ppl are kinda scared about it. So i decided to finish mine up and show everyone how it actually looks like.

    so one for up, no one for down?

    I think the led brake should go up top. I did, and it looks great.

    Cool, my cousin lives on Perkins Lane. I'm from West Seattle, but I am at the U Dub now. From your sig, sounds like your car is tight! Maybe I'll get to see it sometime!

    Okay, its going on the top cant wait to get that thing set up. Gotta find a way to hide the big ass hole in the place where the stock light was. Need to patch that shit.

    chubs, its a 42 LED (bar) comes with all wiring harness and brackes and mounting tape and screws and clip connetors to tap into your stock harness and shit. U got everything in there. I still have the 3 of em and its like 25 bucks shipped to your house. If u wanna talk about the detail of buying pm me or email me.
