3RD Brakelight; What To Use On A 620

[difrangia]

Has anyone added or seen a good addition of a third brakelight @ top-center of the back of the cab on a 620?

 

Maybe something that would fit and look semi-natural between the drip channel and rear window?

 

I've been toying around with the idea in the back of my mind for a bit.

 

I'd hate to get flattened by a 'Super Duty' or equivalent. I've had several bad experiences piloting scooters and microcars and am running out of my 'Nine Lives'.

How about stick on?

Tell me about it.  I live here in Albuquerque,NM and everyone here has no insurance a least it seems that way and they drive just horrible.  Definitely don't take yours eyes off the road!  I don't know about your light but that is a real good idea and if found the right one, would look real classy.  Would like to see when done also.  Good Luck!!

Wiring will be a problem as both brake wires to the back share the turn signal. Depending which side you use it will flash when turning the other. You will have to tap into the brake pedal switch.

JCWhitney lists many add-on third brake light LED units.  One should satisfy your need.  Good prices also, they are forever running free shipping promotions to boot.  I have one of their units on my 411 sedan.

I bought some universal ones off Ebay and set them up on the frame under the tailgate on either side of the license plate. Like Mike said, they do flash with the turn signals though which is okay with more. The more visibility the better.

I think what difrangia wants is something higher up so things like full size/lifted/semi trucks can see it easier.

There's always flush mount led round lights we use um on some of the trailers we build here you can get um at Oreilys auto zone and advance that I know of they are about 3/4" dia and bright as all get out I'll post a pic of one when I get off work

You would just need to make a pigtail to tap into the stock brake pedal switch. That would be a lot easier than running another switch.

Heres a idea for you, do as some of the other trucks around here do. The big  red led strips across the back bottom of the box, or even your tailgate, and do half one side, half other, to light up for turn signals as well, they are super fucking bright, and better than jsut a 3rd ugly brake light.

I'm planning to put this under my rear window, above the bed... High enough so the person behind me can see it on a lowered truck... It may not be pretty, but I don't want to get rear-ended... again!
