i show you my third brake-light in my 56th ghia. at restauration i mount an wire from brakelight-sender in front of the pedals to the backside of rear seat. when i drive my ghia i clamp the aluminium strips betweeen rearseat and parcelshelf (rear window). at exihition the brake light is behind the rearseat, while driving i miunt it like you see at pics.
regards from germany, Udo

Interesting, but you dont get a lot of light reflection when the brake light is "on"?

there are some reflections, but they are ok (and i can see that the brakelight works 8) )

I saw these pics somewhere. Looks more tasteful.

you are right, but in germany it is not allowed to install brake light like yours. your suggestion is very coll. have you more pics from installation?
thanks

Hi Udo,

Thanks for the info and pics.
For safety reasons I'm going to make something like that.
Bought a bus fog light which I'm going to use as a third brake light.

greetings Gerard

Looks to me like it would obstruct your vision out your back window...which is small as it is.

This is my attempt- Works pretty nicely & doesn't get in the way-
