Looking to add a third brake light to my 69 vette.
I have some ideas of where to put it but is there anyone who did this already. would love some more ideas.

 

I saw one on a friends 76 C3, he used a third light from a 86 coupe and mounted it on the top directly behind the t-tops, it looked so normal that it almost looked original. I am going to put the same on my 80 C3.

 

I mounted(doublesided tape) a Red LED strip light to the top of the rear window
on my '74.

 

Here's a thread that might give you some ideas. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c3-g...ght-ideas.html

In that thread there appears to be a number of methods of adding a Dole light.

Inside top of window led's.
Outside top of car C4 light.
Later (I think C5) light glassed into rear.
License plate mounted.

 

I looked at my 87 Coupes 3rd brake light. IT should mount on top of the roof, right behind the T tops. At least on my 73 it would fit well. I converted the 3rd brake light on my 87 to LED's. What a difference it made and it was dirt cheap. Here is a post I made when I converted it on my 87.

Default LED's for the Third Brake Light
Harbor Freight ( www.harborfreight.com) sells a 9 inch LED Strip that contains 24 Red LED's for only $9.99. I bought two strips (48 Red LED's total.

Its real simple to install. Open up the High Mounted Stop Light. Remove the OEM light bulbs. Each strip of LED's will just slide in the area in front of the stop light reflector, and the red lens. The two strips easily fit stacked one above the other. I off set them by 1 LED. The LED strips have two wires from each stip. One wire is ground, the other is 12 volts. The polarity of the two wires is critical or the LED's will not light up. Have a friend step on the brake pedal to provide power to the high mounted stop light. Then take the two wires from one strip and touch them to the two printed copper strips. If the LED's dont light up, swap the wires. Then mark them. Repeat this for the second strip. Now solder the 4 wires from the LED strips to the printed copper strips. Do a final test. I used a few dabs of epoxy to be sure the LED strips dont move and become off center.

Now I want to tell you......when 48 LED's light up in the high mounted stop light, YOU WILL BE SEEN. And the current draw is tiny compared to the light bulbs you are replacing. If you have a problem installing them, PM me, I will help you.

Here is the link to the LED Strips.

I need pictures of finished brake light!

 

 

Here's mine, It's a C6 light that I used. Molded it in to the true Flex bumper. Works great, and barely noticeable until it lights up.
