Default 3rd brakelight which one, where to put it?

I would like to put in a 3rd brakelight, somewhere in the middle, like under the black spoiler on the rear lid, or behind the rear window. Anyone have any good ideas for an OB?

The stock location? - maybe with a lower profile LED strip right at the top - best for functionality - even 2 cars back..

My car had one added when they federalized the car back when it was imported (85 Euro).

It's centered at the top of the hatch window (on the inside). Interestingly, it's held in place with velcro. It sounds like a "cheapo" fix at first, but there aren't any holes drilled for it.

These cars seem to have a propensity for getting rear-ended. Having it as high as possible seems to be a good idea.

Wow Tony, that's cool. Possibly the best looking add-on 3rd light I've ever seen.

I've never really considered adding one to my 79 and 81 due to how horrid most look.



This is possibly the worse one ever, and is from the factory:
