Brake Lights Mod
Your brake lights...
My brake lights...
Only took a couple of hours, half a pint of blood, 3 band-aids, 1/4 tube burn ointment (molten plastic is hot boys and girls), 12 swear words, and 3 beers....
Thanks to RandMan for the parts, and BillBoost for shipping them.

All I did was dremel out the running light holes to accept the larger brake light sockets. Spliced the current running light circuit into the new sockets. Then ran a wire to tap the brake lights into the brake light circuit.
The catch was, the brake light sockets have to be trimmed a bit. They're about a 1/2 inch too long to fit between the light assembly and the trunk. Luckily, there'* plenty of extra socket there to trim off.
Unfortunately, I didn't get any during pics. Camera phone ran out of memory, and I didn't feel like tracking down the real camera...
