4th brake light triangle outline mod

Hey guys, has anyone made a 4th brake light that outlines the triangle instead of it looking 'filled in' with a bunch small LEDs? Similar to the outlined square 4th brake lights on WRXs or 370zs

I'm not a fan of valentis and i think this blinking outlined triangle would look sick

There are a bunch of kits to make it work as a running light or brake light.

Just google 4th brake light frs and you should find the conversion kits.

I wish I could snap a screen pic but the first option is for ijdmtoy led 4th brake light kit. Second link is for a post on this forum with how tos and discussions...

Not sure if you're going to find a led rope outlined triangle.

Yeah I was hoping to see if anyone has done it before, but I'm guessing it's either too much work or they're complacent with the regular triangle

mine is a little more complex, i liked the flat bar style of the brz concept better




but anything is possible if you're willing to make your own circuit boards!

So you're saying that a triangle is more dumb and cheesy than a square?
Did a girl break your heart whilst learning about acute triangles in geometry class?
