[TR] TR3A low mounted 3rd brake light??

 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.
