Like Vrooom Vrooom and others I'm interested in installing a third tail
light/brake light combination. And I'd like to install it in some kind of
chrome fixture on the underside of the top luggage rack bar. Has anyone done
this.

Neil,
Good question. I ran a 14 gauge wire from the #5 terminal (brake light) on
the Flasher Relay Box in the engine bay under the left fender area to the
fire wall, ran it through a fire wall grommet with existing wires located
just under where the choke cable goes through (BN4 car), then behind the
driver's side side-kick panel, then under the carpeting past the door, up
under the vinyl panel behind the door and back under the rear shroud edge to
the 3rd brake light location. In short, I ran it through the driver's side
interior area. The 3rd brake light ground wire I attached to the closest
cockpit surround-molding attachment screw.
Hope this helps.
Vrooom,
John

John,
Could you briefly tell me how you ran the wiring to the light please?
Under the trunk weather-stripping & then place the light close to the
trunk edge so it doesn't show, or?
Thanks in advance,
Neil

Ned,
About five years ago I installed a cool looking 3rd brake light from a
1999 Chevy Suburban (and other GM SUVs) on my Erika's derriere. I
purchased it at a Chevy dealer parts department. It's looks so good on
a healer that several Healey owners have told me it looks like Gerry
Coker designed it.
Attached is a copy of my article published in Austin Healey Magazine a
few years ago and a couple of color photos that give you an idea of how
it looks - The brakes are NOT on in photo. It's LED and very bright.
Great comfort day and night.
Vrooom vrooom,
John
