Lately I've been seeing those third brake light flashers going around and Its gotten me thinking about installing one, but it also got me thinking about how useless the third brake light on the SC is. My 97 has the wing mounted light and I have a hunch that its doing almost nothing for driver awareness. I've measured, and with a lowered car, its only 40in off the ground. Hood of an F150 is about 50in tall.

Anyone seen any high mount third brake lights on an SC? I looked at some solutions, and they seem alright, but they aren't for SC's of course

If anyone has ideas, do share, and thanks for input.

Good morning,
I have thought about the same thing since I saw a Bentley with one that went all the way across the top of the back glass. I have wondered about installing one from a BMW 6 series coupe or an Audi. There may be more. Not sure about the contour of these lights or if they could be bent to conform to our back glass. I would be interested in your direction on this. By the way Ebay has one that will stick to the inside of any back glass and there is a you tube video of a young fellow installing it. I wonder how long the LED lights will last in the unit since it is so inexpensive. It is just a stick and wire, so simple.
Let us know.
Bill

I don't like rear window visors, but if anyone makes one with lighting built in, that would be an easy way to add it. Like a Lund visor with the five clearance lights, but with the ol' baseball cap turned backward.

I wouldn't mind a roof spoiler, something subtle, but other than drilling a hole in the metal, where would you run the wires to the light?

That's exactly how it's done on the Lund visors.

Maybe you could do like the SC's OEM mobile phone antennas, which as I recall, had inner portions adhered to the glass that were able to pass the signal through.

We arent talking about radio signals here, we talking red LED's.
That would be a lot electrical work, but I suppose it could be possible to do a sort of induction style electrical transfer through the rear glass like wireless phone chargers.
Thought I think it would be easier to just mount some lights inside the car XD
