Had work today, so I missed you guys at the parade. Hope you all had a good time though.
I've been doing some research to replace my third brake light. I was happy with the one I had from JCW but the adhesive foam seal around where the light sticks to the window was torn while separating it from the window last week. It still works, but I wanted it to look as clean as the rest of the rear of the bus. If anyone wants it, it's yours...
I had ordered this nice Hella listed on
http://www.danielsternlighting.com/ but it says that it's "For backglass angles of 57° to 80° — Most vans & wagons, some sedans" obviously we know that the back window on a bus is nearly 90°. Daniel reassured me that many bus owners buy this light.
GoWesty recently started carrying
This light
Which in concept, I actually like much better, even though it appears to be a "cheaper quality" light. It has really good reviews too.
Unlike the Hella, which has a fixed angle, the LED light array on this light is adjustable. Which means I can position the light at the top of the window (where my old light was) and angle the light array inside the housing for optimal effectiveness and view ability for cars behind and lower than me.
I had about $40.00 GoBucks saved up on GoWesty's site from when I bought my Fiamma Awning back when I dirst bought Peabody. So, I cashed in on those and ordered the GoWesty light also. I'll decide which is a better "fit" when they arrive, and return, sell, or trade the other one off.
In these old cars, with relatively low, and low power tail lights I think it's one of the best lighting upgrades I think a bus can get.
