Yes, I read the original research from the 60s (one of previous lives  
was spent as a professor), the 3rd brake light should be high!  But in  
our LBCs there is really no place high enough to be near t eye level  
of the guy behind you - particularly if she is riding in an SUV. I am  
just trying to get one more thing to light up in the rear end when I  
am driving to work at 5:30AM.

I am still thinking about converting the rear turn signals into  
running light & turn signals - which would be an easy change.   
Stopping is what I am more concerned about.
