Subject:Re: third brake light
From:Chuck Mathis

Years ago I bought one for a car I no longer have -- hopefully no longer
exists -- from a FLAPS.  Didn't see any when I was scrounging for those 50W
halogen brake light bulbs last weekend.  Try yearwood.com.  They carry a
variety of third brake light assemblies for street rod applications --
everything from surface and pedestal mounts to nifty weld in housings.

While the taillights aren't 'low' in relation to most passenger car lights, I
think the few people that actually pay attention when they drive are
accustomed to seeing the high middle light.  I keep eye-balling the shelf lip
behind the A/C unit as a nice place for an LED strip.

If anybody has found a good source for roundtoits please let me know.

top of the hatch, the normal taillights are so low....

Has anyone installed one with any success?
