Default MY04 3rd brake light

Does anyone know how to get the outer brake light working on the MY04 taillights.

I've noticed that neither of mine have globes or a port for globes. Has anyone carried out this mod.?

Cheers guys.

Sounds like someones installed the JDM 3rd brake light kit incorrectly, you'll need to get an electricial to adjust the flux capacitor harness and solenoid to handle the extra load.

WHS, it's important not to overload the flux capacitor. 1.21 gigawatts is the maximum voltage allowable for a standard unit.

Pic of what you mean? 3rd brake light is usually on your spoiler or parcel shelf.

I had noticed the park light switch. Never bothered to try it in all honesty. I was watching a couple of JDM STI's though and I noticed that all 3 brake lights (in the tail light housing) light up, in addition to any parcel shelf light.

Wasn't sure if this was something that anyone had looked into or if the tail lights I saw were a one off of sorts.

I did see an STI the other day with all 3 tail brake lights lighting up. Perhaps I was tired and seeing things though..

He's probably getting confused with the rear fog light.
