Actually....I just installed Daytime running lights, I installed sequential turnsignal lights--thats where 1 light blinks then the other blinks right after the 1st while using turn signal--and now I'm installing a 3rd light and I also have a kit to hook up to that to make it blink 3-4 times in a second when the brake is hit--for safety. I don't like tailgaters--especially in the vette

Where did you get your brake light and where did you mount it? Any pics?
