There is a huge variation in the performance of LED lighting.  Some have brighter tail lights that end up giving you less differentiation to stop lights which to me makes things worse.

The very fact that people have got used to seeing if not expecting a 3rd brake light surely means that fitting one would be beneficial.  2 wires, the 12v wire to the green/purple by the right-hand rear light cluster where there should be a spare hole in a 4-way bullet connector, and a convenient earth.

  Before you go to the trouble, do some research.  When the third brake light was first introduced, it definitely caused a reduction in rear end collisions because it was novel and new.  After a few years its effectiveness was in dispute because people had gotten used to it and it no longer was novel or new.
