As I recall, they have one that is adaptable which you can adjust for the angle of the rear glass. I'll be doing the same thing with mine except it will be on the left side of the middle of the glass at the top. For NZ I think you have to put it at the bottom of the glass and on the right middle :0) It's not required for mine, but it is an added safety feature. Also, I switched to LEDs for the backups and parking lights, as well as the turn signals as they are MUCH brighter than originals. I want people to see me, not hit me. :0) You might also take a look at wrecking yards for later model cars with sloping rear glass. Cars like Firebirds/TransAMs, 260Zs, etc. |

It's ALWAYS cheaper to ship longer distances :0) I learned that from our USPS :0) JC reorganized a few years ago. More mainstream parts, although they still have the sleazy stuff, too..... Want a Dukes of Hazzard horn?? :0) |

cheers for your help,
back high stop light needs to be in the middle either at top or bottom as long as it does not impead line of sight from the rear veiw mirror. the new zealand warrent and registrations rules are rather tight , new seatbelts, brakes, lights,and a long list of other stuff is required to make it legal for road use, :? thank goodness we have a rather dedicated mustang parts supplier not far from home to help with this. thanks again for your help "Spike" wrote: > On Mon, 28 Jul 2008 18:23:11 -0500, titan153 > > wrote: > > >hi, im new to this. > >i have recently purchased a 65 fastback, and to get a new > zealand > >warrent for this car i need to attach a high stop light to > the rear > >window, any sugestions on brand and how to, as the light that > i have > >purchased isn’t the right angle for the window > >any sugestions will be great cheers > > > Aftermarket sources such as JC Whitney.

Cars like Firebirds/TransAMs, 260Zs, etc. That's great. Sorry about the confusion of location. I have a hard time recalling the setup for northern hemisphere vs southern 'cause you chaps are standing on yer heads down under, and having Christmas in the middle of summer :0) NZ rocks (of course, so does southern California :0) |
