well since i don't know what wing you got, i don't know if a 3rd brake light would matter or look good with what you have.

evo 8 wing u have correct?.. You would have to take a light like from the back of an oz spoiler, drill out the spot for the light and wire it in, look at kontra's wing im pretty sure hes got a light in his evo7 spoiler u can ask him

kontra's wing is the RMR wing without the center post, thus explaining his 3rd brake light. i called mitsu before asking if they would be able to order me a 3rd brake light just in case i wanted to get an evo wing and they said they could get it to me for 55 bucks. so just call your mitsu dealer.. im sure they would order one for you. just make sure they order a 3rd brake light from a wingless OZ, not from a es/ls so you get the dark graphite color.

yo rigo ... i did this cause i got pulled over for no third brake like ... take the brake like from the oz spoiler and put it on ur back window... cut the wire from the inside of the trunk (make sure u have a lot of slack) and then rewire it...

an evo will only have a 3rd light in the cabin if it has an Evo 8 spoiler or no spoiler.. if it came with the dinky wing then it wouldnt come with the cabin brake. no sense of having four brake lights ...

If you're selling your oem spoiler, why not trade the buyer's in cabin light? Otherwise, I heard you could run the wire to an LED that you drill a hole in the wing for. Either way should work.
