can they get the tint behind the light without removing it? and is it easy to disconnect the light?

 

^it's VERY easy to disconnect the light.. look over your manual and it should tell u how.. u should remove it b4 getting it tinted from a shop.. bcuz they might cut out the shape of the 3rd brake light and it'll look FUGLY

 

^^^ oh i see what you mean.... take it out, get it tinted, and then put it back in just so there are no open holes to have to cover up

good idea, thank you!

 

well im just gettin around to disconnecting that light..... but i dont see it anywhere in the manual... can anybody tell me how? i get paranoid takin my car apart when i dont know ahead of time EXACTLY what im gonna be doin

thanks guys

 

btw, i am just trying to figure out how to disconnect it, not remove it

 

Here is what I made for myself. Since I don't have the premium package I did not have rear deck speakers, so this idea might not work for you. It is some particle board, spray adhesive, and vinyl from a local interior shop. The material was basically given to me since it was all scraps.

 

pull STRAIGHT up. there are clips holding it in. then just disconnect the connector.

 

Upon installing your aero package, the dealership should disconnect the third brake light for you. I removed this assembly almost 2 years ago when I had the rear spoiler installed. I wrapped a piece of 16 ga. anodized aluminum in a dark wool frabric, which matched the color of the rear deck, and covered the said hole.

 

that looks pretty nice....gj

 

so befor you tint remove the 3rd brake light?? all you do is pull it up and it snaps out???

 

i just did mine 5min ago. you just pull it up and it slips out then you disconnect the brake light. take one small clip off of the connector then push a piece on it down and the connector slips out. then put the third brake light back in place

 

the dealer told me they did not sell the rear deck- the light so i only had the light disconnected

 

They do sell the rear parcel shelf if you want to swap it out for a stock one. I was quoted $217.77 for one.

I was thinking about doing it but it seems expensive for that part. I think I may just try to recover the part with material instead. Just a little 3M spray adhesive and take a few minutes to cover it with material that matches pretty well and you'll never notice. Since I don't have tint I don't want to remove the light and leave the hole.

 

Thanks for the compliment. I don't have a picture, but when I look in my rear view mirror I see the full reflection of the Infiniti symbol as well as the traffic behind me which is kind of cool

 

i think the big infiniti logo in your rear deck looks silly
