If I was to do it on a classic, which I have none at the present, I would use this as the light and wire it in.

Or Maybe look for a new MINI or something similar with a straightish 3rd brake light and pillage it off of it.

Enjoy.
exactly, that's the design i like,, i shouldn't have bought the rectangular one, looks old fashioned.  Sir Alex did not believe me when i showed it, i even wrote his name on the window. i betya if i proved that i have a blinking light installed, he will disappear again because he gets embarrassed.

Show us the video of the back of your car then !
The rubbish you posted before shows nothing except a close up of a brake light - no conclusions can be drawn from that, except that you are full of crap.

The same is true around me.  If you have actual proof, you have something for the police to go after.  The only issue is that if you cannot make out the face of the driver they can claim "It wasn't me, I lent my car to a friend."  Not sure what happens at that point.


Sorry about the hit Rosebud.  My front bumper has a dent in about the same place and looks to be the same size.  Right in the middle of the plate.

Low hanging, sort of step down trailer hitch, likely.

I know, right? I can't imagine what they must have been driving that actually managed to hit my bumper. A skateboard maybe?

Tell me how you figure that special boy, just another old style garage find someone has rigged into a rear window. All i see is a video of a rear window with no body/paint showing as i stated you would do. You are just a bull$hitter who by your own admission likes to screw with people on the internet something along the lines of what you stated "let my fingers mess with folks on the keyboard" with my double DB degree.
And if you want to do a count as to who is wrong you will win that award by a mile.

If in doubt, flat out. Colin Mc Rae MBE 1968-2007.

That could be on any car....would like to see what it looks like on a classic MINI, so take a wide shot

Tape a paper bag over it - problem solved.

Now, film the brake light working and post it already.
Would be a good solution to do to his computer keyboard also.
I bet the picture is of a rear window of "a Mini" with no paint showing, just another load of BS.

Ok sir alex, will do that as soon as i get home from work... But truly the flashing third brake light is the only way we can be extra visible to other cagers.  And also keep your old spark plugs so if someone try to bully you on the road you have something to throw back at them.

Yes, please post a video.  I would like to see how it works on a classic MINI.
Did you mount yours at the top of the window or above the parcel shelf?
On top middle part of the back window (inside) i bought the rectangular one. Which i regret, i like the one  straight line better (8lead light) more sporty looking.

Rosebud, Ouch.
One of the rules of owning a Mini: Never parallel park a Mini.
You were lucky. Too many people park by Braille.  A back-into usually misses the bumper and hits the grille...at a minimum.

Why don't you upload a short video of it working to YouTube then so we can all see it ?
