I had been told by asianrob that the wiring should be there already in my EG3 DX Hatch. I just wanted to see if anyone knows for certain that has added a 3rd brake light so I know whether or not ill need to hardwire it in before I get started.

I picked up an SiR II one piece spoiler with LED brake light :hehe:

No clue if these are pre-wired in UK EGs - I'm curious too. I know that later-year hatch models had a EDM LED spoiler as an option, so it's possible it's there. Why not check? It's 10 minutes to look and confirm.

i didn't know they came without them.. the US made it mandatory in like 1985 that all cars have to be produced with a 3rd brake light
