What kind of brake light did you use, and does it seal up to the glass to prevent inside glare at night?
I want to do the same thing. I don't trust people to see the tail lights in the original locations. There is a good reason they've been moved up in newer vehicles. It puts them in the line of sight.

Seats
Hi mate what type of seats did you use and have you any pics.
cheers
QUOTE=56panelford;17657965]I bought an LED double strip lighting kit from our local Canadian Tire store, 2 strips 1/4" x 12 " then used some MDF and routed a 1/4" deep ,1/2" wide by 12" dado, The LED strips had self adhesive tape that hold them side by side in the dado and on the MDF I used some 3M tape on each end to attach it to the window. I looked to see if I had taken any pics but apparently not, sorry..It only cost around $20 total[/QUOTE]
