well i've just seen a listing on ebay just type in ibiza and look in car parts and there is a sticker you put over the back brake light.

 

[Guffers]

Mine does, but it was like that when i bought it.
Strange thing is that the previous owner was a 60 year old, and i cant see them adding that!

 

[the bear1986]

thats strange then maybe you can buy the light like that as an option juat a thought tho. so is your light a sticker or a proper brake light?

 

[Phil_beeza]

mines a sticker

i've had the car since feb and only just realised it was there

went driving with some policemen mates in the car behind me, and they told me they'd let me off my rear brake light.

i had no idea what they were talking about till someone pointed out to me. funnily enough i don't often see my rear brake lights

 

[the bear1986]

what so is it ok to have that on your brake or not? so did they pull you over or where they your mates?

 

[Guffers]

Mines standard from the factory as far as I'm concerned, but it looks a bit cheesy to be honest.....

You can get pulled for it, this has been discussed before.

I think they look a bit weird personally.

Dont understand why you would get pulled for it as surely its legal to not have the centre brake light at all. So any red light coming on when the brakes come on should be acceptable

i think the 'cupra' light is cool, saw it when I was following a leon in our SCN convoy! Old cars don't even have a 3rd light so don't see how its illegal and you can buy stick on pads which have messages programmed in they aren't illegal.

i believe in 1996 or there abouts the 3rd brake light became a legal must, but this could be wrong, some one may be able to correct this.

Depends how new, as said newish cars always have a rear 3rd brake light now a days, as law.

IMHO, I wouldnt have any name covering my 3rd brake light, doesnt appeal to me

 

[dozza.13]

Does the sticker actually obscure the light coming from the brakelight?

 

[TazB]

I've seen Loadsa different makes of cars with the model name in the 3rd brake light. these stickers are probably sold in shops so i'm doubting its illegal.

I think it looks shite if I'm honest.

Theres a Pug 307 in my local town with one... looks cheap & tacky.

 

[RichieRich]

i used to have one but took it off a week later.. says it all

 

[Guinness]

I must admit they do look crap

 

[cuprakel]

i hate em......might as well get one that says 'CHAV'
