Third brake light
Ok today after looking at that ugly wing in the back i noticed a 3rd brake light on the edge of the roof i was like wtf i never seen it there before remind you guys i only had this blazer going on a little over a month if i can remember right that the 3rd brake light was not available with the 1st gens so it was obviously installed by someone, Now my main question is can i remove that ugly a** rear wing ad how will it be properly done like which tools needed.
Thanks, Rick

yours should have a third brake light or CHMSL being it is a 94
"In 1986, the The United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada mandated that all new passenger cars have a CHMSL installed. A CHMSL was required on all new light trucks and vans starting in 1994. CHMSLs are so inexpensive to incorporate into a vehicle that even if the lamps prevent only a few percent of rear end collisions they remain a cost-effective safety feature."
If i remember .... to take the main spoiler down you are going to need some Torx bits. but not sure as I haven't looked at a first gen air spoiler in years.

Yep, 1994 was the year the government required all new vehicles to have the CHMSL.
To remove the rear air deflector, you will need a torx set. Just be aware that your hinges will still have the stanchions on it...
The rear air deflector really does help keep your back window clean.
