Wasn’t today but retrofitted a 2017+ cluster. I’m loving it but I wish the oil temp readout was a bit more exact.

Thanks for the DIY video @thekevinvo!

Lowered the 3rd brake light with the SKR kit (http://www.skronline.net/BLK.html)

I noticed in this kit that the light is shifted more rearwards along with being lowered. Is there still plenty of room between the glass and the light?

Always thought the 3rd brake light mount looked ridiculous on the first gens. I'm sure its 'elevation' has something to do with a law about minimum height above the existing brake light, or minimum height above the factory spoiler, and this was just a cheaper alternative to putting an LED Strip at the top of the window (which would have not only looked 100% better, but been much more effective from a safety standpoint, given how low these cars are)..

I just checked and the rear most edge of the light is in contact with the glass but the gap opens up as you move towards the front of the car. Hopefully it won't be another rattle source, it's pretty tight though. I had to press down on the felt deck to get a piece of paper to slide between the light and the glass on that rear edge.

Agreed. An integrated top mounted light strip would have been much nicer, and better visibility as well.

Yup! Top of the window is best
(and it doesn't block your rear view like the OEM one does... I mean this wing doesn't help either lol)

Some spoilers have the brake led in the trailing edge. This must increase rear view and enhance safety visibility. Not on this platform I guess.
