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

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. |
