Just wondering what others on here have done to add a third brake light to their cars? Considering adding it on mine, first for more visibility to others, second just in case one of the rear circuit boards goes bad suddenly.

This thread does discuss it a little, but only shows two different variations.


I would rather stick with an "old school" look - I'm not a big fan of LED bulbs on a 30-year-old car so I would prefer incandescent bulbs. Mount the light under the top louver, and if I could also find a smoked out lens I think it would be cool for it to almost disappear when not lit.

So far, I have found these two:



My thought was to buy two, mount each to either side of the center support on the louver, which would give me 12" of light total. The second one pictured I don't think will work because where it mounts looks like it's slightly curved, but I like the housing. And both lenses are bright red (not smoked).

If anyone is willing to post some pictures of their lights on here that would be helpful too!
