And you can also see my installation (stolen from John's idea!!!) on my
site's Technical page, My Modifications section. I have my third brake light
and converted reflectors wired to a mechanical switch and use the pressure
switch for the original lights. Wiring diagram and sourcing of parts is
there. John's write up is great and like all good things, is copied! A
mechanical switch is a great addition especially if you have a soft pedal.

Yes, the third brake light is better mounted high. However, with our small
and antiquated tail/brake lights, a good third brake light on the rear deck
is a 300% improvement is brake light visibility. If you want visual proof
of the value of a rear deck mounted 3rd brake light, check out the night
time photo of Erika's 3rd brake light on John Sim's website at

Vrooom vrooom,
