DIY: Rear Brake Light Removal for Air Release, Diffuser Mod

[neilvosko]

my goal was to remove the Rear Reverse/Brake Light module in the bottom rear diffuser to let the air out of the "rear bumper parachute" given i replaced the OEM muffler with a dual muffler set, but I did see any info on how. so i climbed under the car and took some pictures for reference.

you will need a small 8 mm socket, (space is too small for a wrench)
two screws on top middle of module

and a medium/standard flat head screw driver, to unclip 2 push pins on each end

then there is compression fitting in the center bottom.

then used 5 small zipties to secure the loose wires to existing wires out of the way. i used small ties because they are more pliable, and less likely to cut into the wires.

i ordered this set

to relocate the turn signals to tails, and use the clear reflective housings for brighter backup bulbs.

i plan to fill the brake light hole with honeycomb mesh like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-B...19.m1438.l2649
