hey guys have a question!! My 4th gen prelude has a hight mounted brake light on the rearwind shiel is there any way of removin that so i can get an OEM spoiler with LED?? or do i have to get one without the LED..i think that if i kept the high mounted 3rd brake light and get an LED spoiler it would just be too much lighting...also if i did remove the 3rd brakelight would be warning light go on, on my dashboard (the light the goes on when one of my lights are blown out)) ??? pleaz help me out guys ASAP!!...THNX SOO MUCH!
PEACE!!!
except you have to look at the light on your dash that says "brake light/lamp?" whenever you are driving.
So run a jumper wire across the terminals.
I don't know how the LED spoilers are wired in, but if you are at all good with electronics you could wire it to where your 3rd brake light used to be. I dont know what it would look like at your headliner if you completely removed the housing and everyhting though.....
yeah but do all 4th gens come with that 3r breaklight up there?? i dont think so...i might as well get a spoiler without the LED..even though i would much rather have the LED one especially at night!! that freaking break light!! has anyone removed theres??
ooh that doesnt look too bad...do they come from the factory with both the LED and the 3rd brakelight?? or does it come with one or the other??? thnx guys!!
ooh i know its not hurting anything but a lot of times when i see cars with the LED and the other 3rd brake light it looks weird!!!!
do preludes come from the factory with both the LED spoiler and the 3rd high mount break light????
ooh! 1 quesiton remains unanswered.. no one in this whole prelude forum knows for sure if the housing for the 3r brakelight can be removed?? no one at all .. i find that hard to believe!

The whole housing can be removed.
It is number 20.
22 is the housing that covers the screws.
13 are the screws you remove. It just pulls off after that
$$ lude thanks a lot now im def gonna look for a LED spoiler those are much nicer!!! good thing i didnt buy the spoile without LED... thanks everyone else!!!! later!! oh one more question!! when it is removed...what will it look like in that area where the housing used to be? wil there just be a hole with nothing there?? or will it look normal??
There will be two holes on one side and three on the other. Probably some abrasion marks as well. I had my body shop use 3M double sided tape to keep it in place cause I couldn't find a better option for a spoiler. I found my spoiler on EBAY for 87 bucks. Check there. Don't go to Honda. They are a big rip. I will post some pics tomorrow so you can see the results.
OK.. here are my day time pics. Now that I look at it I think the tape I was using slipped so I am going to take it out tonight and fix it up right. I can take some pics of that too if you want.
The ghetto white strip is what I use to keep if from vibrating.
When you take the housing out it leaves a big nasty hole in the back. Even if you put the cover back on. I didn't like the way it looked without it on there so I left it.
oh man that stinks...now i think im gonna go for a OEM wing without the LED light....cuz 4 brake lights would be too much and removing the 3rd high mount one would leave a big hole in that spot..so i guess ill just look for a spoiler without the LED light...too bad i really liked the LED especially at night...oh well!!
thanks anyways!!!
later man!!

Well.... the dash light will come on if you pull the bulb out. That light turns on when the circuit is broken. All it really looks for is a resistance as that is all the bulb is. You can get some resistors from some place like Radio shack and your dash light won't come on and you won't see the 3rd brake light.
