Also im not a big fan of the dotted led bar. I would prefer a more solid look like the newer Escalade brake lights. Does anyone know how thats achieved and if possible to do on an esky third brake light?

Lots of people use clear mini blind wands/handles. You can stick an LED in either end and the whole thing will light up like fiber optic. They mostly use them as halos around projector headlights but if you could find one long enough I guess you could use it for the 3rd brake light.

The other option is to "frost" the lens so that it diffuses the light from each individual LED making it appear as one big light.

I like the individual LEDs because I incorporated sequential turn signals into my Esky brake light along with the brake light function.

Never knew that! Great idea.

I have Escalade LED tail lights like @Mickey_7106 posted above. Would having the CHMSL going all the way across the top be too much brake light?

Are there laws that keep them from going all the way across from the factory?

ya that's the one I bought it comes with a real nice black housing, I had already purchased a esky housing and had it painted to match so I just swapped the lamp in, I had the chrome putco one but didn't really like the chrome, I had put some red tint on it but it still didn't look as nice as the red plastic.
