Feeding the wire up the door frame and out you'll have fun with.

Defenders with 3rd brake light factory fitted have a hole up there with grommet in I'd imagine?
Needs a cable puller or a homemade type of puller to get it through. |

Well, I finally got around to butchering the high level brake light to fit the LED panel...
Here's a pic of the back of the board almost bolted into place! I was too keen to get it fitted to take any more pix! ![]() Click image to enlarge ... ,-------, .. I [__][_]|__ .. I __ |"_|"__| .. "(o)====(o)" ^^_-^-_^-^_^^^^^--^^^^ PAUL G7ALW 14.200 USB 26FB458 / 27.275 SSB |

A few more pix of the LED brake light panel...
I re-made the brackets this morning to give a better clearance, and then went out and re-fitted the bits as shown in the pix... ![]() Click image to enlarge ![]() Click image to enlarge ![]() Click image to enlarge ![]() Click image to enlarge ![]() Click image to enlarge ... ,-------, ..
