I found a great deal on a pair or 40 degree dual color Fusions and had been contemplating a good location. Looking at the 3rd brake light I noticed they seemed about the right size to fit inside the housing. Referenced housing is surprisingly easy to remove requiring only a light tug on the bottom edge opposite the headliner. After additional research and testing I ended up gutting the complete existing light strip and lense, and the 2 fusions fit like they were meant to be there. Mode one flashes in sync R/B resulting in a large bright block of light, with mode 2 as override on braking to the "brake pop" pattern with a double or triple flash before steady burn. I am very happy with the result as it looks like the factory set up and the operation is very slick. Rather than run power to the trunk, I tapped into a constant 12v off of the Sony amp, and switching is accomplished using a nifty Bluetooth device bought off of eBay. I am a commissioned LE officer and use the car for off duty traffic assignments in compliance with departmental policy. IMO, anyone with one of these cars should consider this easy and effective modification. Pic attached, and I'll upload a video shortly.
