Let's face it: Vanagons suffer from woefully inadequate rear lighting. Add a modern safety feature and keep folks off your rear end with the GoWesty high-mount third brake light kit!

The kit includes all necessary hardware, and easy installation using strong double-sided adhesive tape, mounting directly to the rear window. Its low-profile design won't interfere with visibility, and it fits nicely behind the curtains to maintain effectiveness even with the curtains drawn. Easy-to-follow instructions make wiring a breeze. You can have it installed and ready to go within 20-30 minutes. The LED technology provides the benefits of being brighter, longer lasting (no bulbs to change!), and having a quicker response time than traditional incandescent bulbs. LEDs reach full brightness 200 milliseconds faster, so at 60 mph, that translates to 20 feet!

Important Note: This LED Third Brake Light is designed for improved safety at night and low light times of day. It is not designed to be highly visible in direct full sunlight.

Super easy install. Honestly feel better knowing people see the bar light up when braking. Just feels safer. And looks sick.

Fantastic!

I used this kit on the flat rear window of my 914. The self-adhesive feature of the housing is quick to install. The adjustable inclination of the light is a nice detail, especially useful since the 914 rear window is canted down. Oh, and it is BRIGHT!

It took me a while to figure out directions due to over thinking it! Got it in and it’s working great!

works as advertised

nice solution to increase brake light visibility. I'm a bit worried about long term durability of wiring but so far so good

Easy peasy...

Downloaded instructions were spot on. I didn't even need the help of the experienced mechanic next door (although he jumped in anyhow).

Yes, I am stopping

I have a hitch and bike rack on the back. Much more noticable that I am braking

Good Instructions

This was a fairly straightforward installation. The instructions make this quiet simple. Everything needed was included, especially the grommet and location for the wire run to the brake light. The light sticks well to the rear glass, and hasn't come loose in the summer heat or the recent stretch of sub freeing weather. I can recommend this brake light with out reservations.

Great product

Not a VW owner but I bought and added this to my old Land Rover. Despite all the off road abuse it hets, it continues to work perfectly.

3rd brake light

Great safety update -- really helps (or makes me feel better?) when driving in traffic!

I feel safer with this

I love my new 3rd brake light. I almost got rear-ended before I installed this. Now I feel much safer. Very easy to install.

Be seen!

It feels good knowing when I brake I am not relying on just the lower lights. Today’s vehicles are getting higher riding heights all the time and sometimes as I brake and glance up in the rear view to see an oversized Truck behind there is a split second of hoping they see the lights. Now we will be seen! Thanks GW, the light was well packaged and arrived quickly.

Third brake light.

Good, the brake light is pretty easy to install and the instructions were good. Only issue was the wire was a bit short, but I crimped an extra length of wire and it works fine. 87 full camper

Great little project

High quality product with clear and thorough instructions. It took me a minute to figure out how to aim it (loosen both knobs and swing the unit inside) but it is worth doing as the LEDs are fairly directional.

I use three of these!

They make the curtain a bit hard to close, but I use three, one for a brake light and two for turn signals. With my swing aways in place high vehicles cannot see my lights. These help a lot.

Awesome safety upgrade

100% one of the best safety upgrades for your van.

good quality

the item showed up it two days and after installing it, I had no issues and can easily be seen out of the back windshield. Id recommend tinting the back window a little so its not so visible when the light is off or add in a light diffuser of some short as it doesn't look the completely evenly lit across on without one, but otherwise its really worth its price.
