I hear what Gary is saying, and like "always on headlights", I thought 3rd =
brake lites were a boondoggle.
Unfortunately since then, distracted driving has become the norm rather tha=
n the exception, and the fact that my roadster ('69) tailites are the "act=
ivate second filament, get brighter" version (not new lite coming on), and =
the known trait that they are so low to drivers behind which we all suffer =
thru, I think the 3rd brake light is a wise thing to be added, however disc=
reetly / tastefully it can be done.
I commute in pretty tight traffic every day (though not in the roadster) an=
d commonly am looking thru the car ahead to brake lites of the cars in fron=
t (and don't follow them panel vans), and 3rd lites then become much more i=
mportant.
My 4-door Toyota truck is a bit higher up, and the number of people I see d=
oing the head bob and "surfing" while driving is astonishing. (appalling)
I am adding a harness crossbar to my "street bar" and will be adding 3rd br=
ake lite(s) like Dave Premo did as well. (and Phil Erickson)
(Todd Osborne did it really nicely by integrating them into his headrests, =
if memory serves me right)
