ASTRO van 3rd LED brake light w/pic
Well it isnt installed YET.Since i havent decided if i want it on the spoiler or up top UNDER the glass.It actually fits in the stock 3rd brake light location in the spoiler w/out too much work.Best thing about it though(besides the leds)it basically plugs right in to existing harness & it cost me $4.50 at the junkyard.Just make sure you get both the male/female connectors.

The spoiler is a 5-inch tall 3-piece from Hawks. It does not come with a third brake light. I modified it to accept a 24-inch wide, 48-LED light bar from LED Lighting Systems, Inc.

WILLIE, I LIKE THAT SPOILER AND WAS THINKING ON MAKING IT MYSELF OR GETTING ONE FROM HAWKS, BUT MY QUESTION IS, DOES THAT 5 INCH PIECE SIT ONTOP OF THE EXISTING SPOILER(WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE), OR REMOVE THE OLD SPOILER AND BOLT UP THE NEW ONE,...OR EITHER WAY?HOW DOES IT ATTATCH, OH, AND DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER PIC A LITTLE FURTHER AWAY TO GET AN IDEA OF WHAT IT MAKES THE PROFILE OF THE CAR LOOK? SORRY FOR ALL THE QUESTIONS!THANKS IN ADVANCE,

1 BAD AZZ, just to let you know, on the Internet in general typing in capslock is considered bad form, because it's perceived as shouting.
And it doesn't take that much time to learn how to capitalize properly, plus you'll look more dignified.
Anyway, back on topic. I want to get one of those '87 or later spoilers with the brake light cutout, since my '86 lost its center-high light when a previous owner replaced the rear hatch and I don't want to have to deal with the wiring going up there anyway. I saw an '88 in the junkyard with one, but it was cracked... would it be easier just to get an aftermarket spoiler like the Hawks one and modify it for a center-high, or should I keep looking around the junkyards?

YOU WOULD KNOW IF I WAS SHOUTING BY AN EXCLAMATION POINT. CAPITALIZING DOESNT MATTER...THE MARK AT THE END OF A SENTENCE GIVES IT ITS MEANING, NOR IS IT "HARDER TO READ LOL. WORDS ARE THE SAME, IF YOU CANT MAKE IT OUT THEN GET YOUR EYES CHECKED, BESIDES ITS BETTER THIS WAY, LOOKS BETTER THAN WHEN YOU FORGET TO CAPITALIZE! ANYWAY THOUGH, MY QUESTION WAS ABOUT THE SPOILER AND I DO NOT NEED ANY OF YOUR GRAMMER APPROVALS, I ASKED WILL, NOT YOU 2.

In fact I did not finish reading either of your posts because of it.

The 5-inch spoiler does not sit on top of the stock piece, it replaces it. It does not originally have provisions for a third brake light, I fabbed it. Also, it bolts directly to the factory holes in a non-third brake light application, such as the 1982 - 86 & 1991 - 92. Mine is a 1987. I had to drill one hole and ream out another per side.
Since I last posted, I have decided to sell my Hawks 5-inch spoiler. I like the looks of it with the cowl hood, but I'll be selling it too (not yet, but in a couple of months). I want to go back to the stock look.
