    third brake light question

    Hi there,

    I recently purchased a zender trunk lid spoiler that has a brake light on it, and as such was wondering if there is a way to remove the third brake light that comes stock with the car (I have an '87 325is). If not, what are my other options? I feel like it would look really off to have four brake lights. Thanks.

                  Do you know if everything woould still fit in my car? I need a rear window too with a working defroster, so maybe I could get all that at a junkyard...

                    Mandatory 1986 and up for your safety. Ask a US mug to ship you over one. Got to almost free. Early cars ugly, M's had them intergrated up on top of the rear window, very nice, late model cars had them tuck under package shelf and will not work with a factory rollo.
