rear end update

[whiterider00]

well, i had a custom LED strip as my 3rd brake light, but somehow moisture got in or something, and it ended up rusting, and a few of the leds stopped working. replaced it with the led board from an impala, and i also decided to fill in the key hole for the trunk. just got a 5/8in nylon plug, painted it the color of the car and popped it in. i think it looks a little cleaner than the hole being there, and if i ever need to, i can just pop it out.

[Atmosphere]

Where did you pick that plug up from? It does look better than a hole lol.

[whiterider00]

I love the plug idea, I think I'll do the same. What year Impala did you get the LED third brake light from?

[whiterider00]

00-05 i believe. and someone said that some have the led board, others have bulbs similar to our stock ones. im not sure how true that is, but i imagine if it is, only the board would work.

Can you show us a picture of JUST the plug, so i know what kind to get? There are all sorts of "plugs". I like the look on your car, and since I have remote trunk opening, i don't really need to use my key.

heres the best pic i can get with my cell. i found it in the fastener/whatever isle at home depot i think. shouldnt be too hard to find

[whiterider00]

or i can now..... get me a small miller or some other small welder... 120V will work fine

[whiterider00]

if i had a welder, it would have been fixed 2+ years ago when i first noticed it. if i can get access to one itll b done in spring.
