22+ GR86/BRZ Driven.Media JDM Style 4th Brake Light Mod

From the factory, the GR86/BRZ has a reverse lamp in the bottom of the rear bumper that is very similar to the previous gen. It has the two reverse lights on the outer sides of the lamp and then a blank red reflector in the center. However, overseas in Japan, they have a functioning fog light in the center area. Why do they get all the nice things? This JDM Style 4th Brake Light Kit gives you everything you need to turn the center section of your reverse light assembly into a functioning 4th brake light to improve your visibility to others. Not only does it include the light and harness itself, it also includes the hole saw to modify your reverse light assembly as well as Posi-Tap connectors to make the wiring a breeze!

Driven.Media Install Instructions

Tail Light Removal

You’ll need to remove one of the tail lights to install the harness for the 4th brake light.

Using a plastic pry tool, pry off the trim piece on the inner side of the tail lights by prying it out from the gap between the trim piece and the rubber trunk gasket.

This reveals two 10mm bolts you’ll need to remove. Go ahead and remove the 10mm bolt on the top portion of the tail light as well.

Carefully pull the tail light straight back and off of the car and unplug it.

Reverse Light Assembly Removal

Remove the three pop clips underneath the rear bumper that are holding the reverse light assembly trim piece in place.

Once the pop clips are removed, you can carefully pull the trim piece around the reverse light assembly off of the bumper.

This reveals two 10mm bolts that hold the reverse light assembly in place that you’ll need to remove.

After the bolts are removed you can pull the assembly out and disconnect it from the OEM harness.

Using the hole saw that is included and a drill, drill a hole directly in the center of the reverse light assembly where the light will install.

Once the hole is drilled, make sure to clean out any of the plastic that may have fallen into the assembly during the drilling process.

To install the light into the assembly, carefully press the light into the whole. A small flathead screwdriver can assist in pushing the seal through, just be careful that you don’t pierce or damage the seal.

Reinstall the assembly back into the bumper and route the wiring up towards the tail light area. The easiest way to do this is to stick something down the tail light opening and attach the 4th brake light wires to that and pull it up.

Wiring Install

Using the include Posi-Tap connectors, tap the corresponding wires into the wires on the back of the tail light. DO NOT tap into the OEM harness coming from the car.

A solid kit that looks OEM+

The reverse light assembly was designed to include a fourth brake light. There are even installation instructions for a bulb molded into the plastic assembly. This handy kit resolves that problem!

Everything needed for installation is included. The guide video made installation quick and easy. The LED bulb is very bright! To match the brightness to the OEM taillights, I installed a light smoke overlay over the reverse light assembly.

The only addition I would like to have included would be a section of wire loom. This would help greatly with cable management and would add a good deal of wire protection.

Great Mod

I purchased this after seeing Kevin's video. I had previously integrated a pair of rear fog lights into the reflectors in my 2022 Outback so I liked this mod.

One thing that I did differently was that I employed the tail light function as a switched rear fog light. I put a very discrete switch in the lower panel to control it. It increased the installation complexity but now I have a rear fog light that I can switch on and off as needed.

The brake light is the main thing here. It is very bright and gives a diamond effect when braking.

Cool mod with a little extra elbow grease involved. Take your time drilling out the hole! silicone lube works good to get the bulb housing into it's new home.
