is these some button or wire or something that I could take out to stop the brake light from working, because I already have a brake light in the spoiler,

and because of that the original brake light looks weird, plus because of the spoiler you cant see it from the back, so its of no use either.

[Dave DND]

Here in the UK, legislation says that we still have to run the main brake lights at either side even when any supplementary or centralised one is fitted.

So the UK may not be the best place to look for an answer to your question as not something we are permitted to do.

I think he means the top supplimentary brake light in the rear screen, Dave.
You can just unplug that, Fazeel, and keep the lights in the spoiler with the two ones in the left and right light clusters.
I believe that it what you want to do??
In the UK, the MOT requirements do not apply to "supplimentary rear brake lights" only the standard side ones, so you can pretty much do what you want with "extra" ones. (checked with DVLA before posting this)

[Fazeel]

yeah, I meant to do what Sixstring said, but how do I do it ??

[Sixstring]

Assuming you have a saloon (sedan) model, simply remove the cover over the rear brake lamp on the rear screen, and pull out the plug that feeds it with power. This will leave the original two brake lights in the clusters, and the rear spoiler brake light working.
As regards the led  lights in the spoiler, remove ALL wires from it, and find which is the live feed to the led's, and earth the other one via a convienient bolt by the rear light cluster (either side) then connect the live feed to the wire that feeds the brake light in the cluster with 12v when the brake is applied. JOB DONE!!

[Fazeel]

I'll try that,

Thanx !!
