Third Brake Light mod
Just thought I'd share my latest mod I did today.
Since my car is going to be a daily driver, I wanted to add a third brake light to give the general public following it that little extra to keep them off of my bumper. I used a super bright red LED strip I found on Ebay for the whopping sum of $2. Procteded the LED's with tape and painted it black, then used couple of 4" strips of 3M black double sided tape. Stuck it to the plastic trim and tucked the wires behind the plastic strip that holds the headliner on and behind the sail panel and done.    Charles |

Looks good. It's inconspicuous until you have to use it. That'll save your rear end.

Hopefully it will be more helpful than when our 68 Firebird was rear ended. Get this, when we were rear ended, there was a Sheriff's patrol car IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, WITH IT'S LIGHTS ON, ten feet from where we were sitting in our car when it was rear ended. The Sheriff himself was standing in the road, orange vest and two orange cones (one in each hand). All that and the nice little illegal still managed to rear end our 68 Firebird! So yes, I can understand why you would install this 3rd brake light!!!!!!!

Nice job on keeping it on the down low. Can you show a picture close up without the brakes on? I'm curious just how inconspicuous it its.

When I read the title of this thread I thought, Oh No, please don't do it !!, but after seeing it, or rather not seeing it, it looks good. Well Done.

Here is one made resting on the trunk before I finished running the wires. It only sticks down about 1/4".
 Thought long and hard about how to build a housing for it, then the light bulb came on!  IF it was just black, I wouldn't NEED a housing, just good double sided sticky tape!!!! Charles |
