    :) Sorry but no. I was working around the house last week, Wednesday evening and thought I could install it fairly quickly. I was able to only install it temporaily. I finished it up Friday evening. Not hard, but take your time removing the bottom two interior panels on the hatchback. Factory wiring for the third brake light is very thin and I ended up soldering the connections instead of using the supplied connectors. Save yourself the trouble of removing the third brake light to access the wiring there. It will not pull out more than an inch.

    Is it for all brake lights or third only flashing?

    I finally broke down and bought bumper plugs for my front license plate removal. I've been driving around with black holes in my bumper for 5,000+ miles.

    Quick update :) Tinted my 3rd brake light with red tint from Rvinyl to match my valenti lights (Red Smoke Tint Film). Here is before and after pics...

    I will get a better shot farther away when I get off of work to show the match with the red valenti's.

    You probably know that no front license plate is illegal in California. For the most part law enforcement doesn't have time to deal with the matter. However, on a slow summer day in South Lake Tahoe my son was stopped for that minor infraction.
