You may find them to be the ugliest thing to place on a vehicle and you
don't want one. That is not disputed and putting one on a 100-6 will
probably not improve its looks.

ps There are no research papers I know of that suggest looking pretty is a
reason for using a high level additional brake light. <LOL>
