I have been thinking about rescuing from a U-Pull-It a strip of third-
light LEDs like those on a Sebring Convertible.
My plan is to mount the light on my luggage rack, either by attaching
it to the rear bar on the luggage rack, or in
a bar (my rack is aluminium tube) with the LED tips exposed - the
latter would be more work, but tidier.
Its not as high as Randall's suggestion, but top up/down won't matter.
For such a light, cars with a roll bar have a terrific mounting point.
Here's the light I will try to use:

Something I've thought about but never got around to trying ... build
a line
of high intensity red LEDs (with clear housings) into a quarter-round
bar of
Lucite that would fit just under the lip of the windshield on a TR3/A.
It would have to be directional enough to stay out of the driver's eyes
(which might be impossible), but would be high enough I think and
reasonably
unobtrusive when it wasn't lit. Likely you could also find a way to
make it
removable for shows (tho I never worried about showing the car).
Obviously it also wouldn't be effective with the top up, but that's a
separate problem <g>
