    3rd brake light

    Hello Group,

    Just wondering what options are available for installing
    a 3rd brake light on our early 911's?
    I have the 911R rear housing lights on mine and they are very dim.

    Thanks,
    Steve

    Now the next dumb question. How to add into the existing circuitry?

    Custom brake lights on a custom decklid grill.
    I’m installing them now. I wired in on the drivers side brake light.

    I fitted this with 2 LED lamps and it's fairly bright.

    What Chris did, just splice it in. The LED strip is only like 3w total, there is no draw.

    I have a 6v version in my 356, it wakes the driver behind you up for sure.

    With my headliner down, I was able to add LEDs up in the vents, up high.

    I saw a 911 with the big round Bosch to the left of the license plate, it was really nice.
    Above, White car, not mine, nice light, being sold by enoz.

    I added one in the space left vacant by a relocation of the exhaust pipe.
