Brake light inside engine grill | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

I saw a LED light that was very nicely put inside the engine grill for months ago on SOC. Does anybody know where you can get these and have had success installing them

I used similar to this on my Spyder. I made a couple very small brackets and riveted the light to the grille up high and underneath, facing directly rearward.

This may not be the exact one I used, I don't have any paperwork or rememnber the part number. But it(they-Spyders have two grilles) is VERY bright and lets people know when I'm on the brakes.

Here is my 3rd brake light. Unfortunately, I can't remember where I got it. I think the company may have been in Kalamazoo. The light in cross-section is a 1/4 circle and I used a piece of stair tread material to close the space under it. It was very easy to mount.
