High Level Brake Light

Another light fitted! This time it was the high level brake light on the roll bar. It's a Hella strip LED light, screwed into a moulded acrylic mounting block, screwed into the roll bar. The cables run internally down through the roll bar, and in under the boot where they are connected into the loom via a 2 pin removable connector. Light mounting was easy....cable routing was done after the bar was fitted, which was not easy (had to pull the cable through at least 6 times). I chose not to drill the holes and mount the light until the car was back on the ground on its wheels to ensure the mounting was level with the road.

  1. Hi where did you get your 3rd light and mounting block?

  2. Hi Steve,

    I bought all my lights as a package from Birkin Australia. This included the high level brake light and the mounting block. The mounting block is a custom piece machined out of acrylic with all the mounting holes already in place, and it fits the Hella LED light perfectly. I can highly recommend using this mounting block as it fits perfectly and was effortless to install.

    Have a chat to Bryn (NSW/ACT/VIC distributor) or Frank at Motowest. All their details are on the birkin.com.au site.

    cheers

    Scott
