I'll be installing a 3rd brake for the mini as I think the stock are not sufficient for drivers that are day dreaming on the road.

Just got 2 from the wreckers as an aftermarket hella ones are the ones with stick on things that you stick on the glass that my mini doesn't have.

Just asking for opinions what looks better for the mini

TYPE 1 - Black single bulb

Needs to be mounted a little away from the edge as the plastic cover hits the edge?softop

or

TYPE 2 - Grey with 2 bulbs

Sorry 'bout the blurry mobile pics

Thanks in advance

Thats where I'm leaning towards to as the 1st one looks kinda out of place

the 2nd one is from a Hyundai sedan and the 1st one is from a Mazda Metro i think
I was in a hurry as I I had 10mins before the closing time

I like the 2nd one.
give it a good clean and get some plastic primer and the colour of your choice or if there is paint that will stick straight to plastic use that.

I just tested both the lights and the 1st one is using a normal brake light bulb which is really brightand the 2nd one uses 2 wedge type T-10 size bulb which is worst than the mini 15 watts each

But a Question do you travel around without the cover on the top only or will the window section be this low
