Frustrated by the fact the cheapo universal 3rd brake light I bought would not remain stuck to the inside top of the rear screen,I remembered that Chris York had fitted a Jaguar XK8 convertible unit to the boot of Lucky!
Turned out it was not that easy to find one at a sensible price,but in the end I found one for £40 all in rather than the £100 + p/p shipped from the USA! :shock:
Not wanting to drill holes in the bootlid,I removed its 3 securing screws,used a self adhesive strip to protect the boot paint,drilled 2 suitable holes in the boot mount,and ran the wiring.
Once the spare wheel is refitted,it pushed down on the unit,securing it in position!
All I now have to do is get it painted to match,but as it doesnt show much,theres no rush!
Shame it doesnt flash, GET OFF MY ARSE
Will have to get a sticker made up for the top of the rear screen! 8)
