Before you go to the trouble, do some research.  When the third brake =
light was first introduced, it definitely caused a reduction in rear end =
collisions because it was novel and new.  After a few years its =
effectiveness was in dispute because people had gotten used to it and it =
no longer was novel or new. =20

Instead, get much brighter LED tail lights.  IMHO way more bang for your =
buck.

There is a huge variation in the performance of LED lighting.  Some have =
brighter tail lights that end up giving you less differentiation to stop =
lights which to me makes things worse.

The very fact that people have got used to seeing if not expecting a 3rd =
brake light surely means that fitting one would be beneficial.  2 wires, =
the 12v wire to the green/purple by the right-hand rear light cluster =
where there should be a spare hole in a 4-way bullet connector, and a =
convenient earth.
