I think Ray (kuya) had pictures of his car, which did have a cleared 3rd brake light. Look in the "complete swaps" topic in the engine forum. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl...

i think that just applies to the main brake lights. the third brake light is more of an auxiliary light. i think its ok to be clear then shine red when braking.

it is perfectly legal. i believe the reflective surface law applies only by meaning that you have to have SOMETHING in the rear that reflects red, in this case, that would be your taillights. as you can see, the supra came with a clear 3rd brake light, which is the same light kuya used (supra 3rd brake light) molded into his hatch:

It's a lot longer than ours. Looks slimmer too. If it isn't, you'd need a dremel, a steady hand, the correct measurements, and some type of seal.
