John,
There is a way that you could make yourself more visible.? Of course there are
companies who sell strips of LED lights nowadays.? You could always run a set
of these either high or low, wire it with connectors so you could disconnect it
when you wanted to go back to stock.? You could even hook up a third brake
light pulsar that would flash the third brake light 3 or 4 times each time you
touched the brakes.? It would certainly serve the purpose of making you more
noticeable.

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.
