New LED Third Brakelight Released by Juliano’s

By Ashley Smissen , December 20, 2010 in Brakes, Electrical, Products

Juliano’s has just released a new LED third brakelight that is divided into two sections so it can serve as a brakelight or a signal light. The two section design also works great for any car with a split rear window, according to the company.

The new light comes in two versions. For split-window cars, the one with the adjustable bracket allows it to be mounted right on the window divider. The housing is 8 inches wide and is machined from aluminum so it can be polished, plated or painted to match the car’s interior theme.

Juliano’s also offers a retrofit kit to upgrade the filament bulbs in the first version of this product to LEDs.

The new brakelight comes with complete instructions and mounting hardware.

Modern Lighting for Not-so-Modern Cars

By John Katz , July 29, 2010 in Electrical

Today’s custom lighting isn’t just about being able to see the road, it’s also about how your customers are being seen. They expect the lights that you put on their car to keep them safe and look great doing it.

Since the earliest days of brass lamps, carbide generators and Prest-O-Lite cylinders, automotive lighting has been just as much about how a car looks as how well the driver sees. Pioneering motorists chose their lighting systems mainly for economical performance, but even by the late 1920s some intrepid individuals were trading downrange illumination for the aerodynamic illusion of Woodlite Parabolics.

It is powered with a choice of Xenon (Hyper White, H4 60/55 watt bulbs) or Halogen (H4 60/55 watt bulbs).
