In California, this Mod definitely a must do. CA drivers expect an eye level light. I did my 3rd brake light - but it only worked for a short period of time…. Got to figure out the wiring…

hey there mechtrician I completely understand. What we did with my son's 65 is add a third brake light / license plate light from Max-Bilt LED License Plate Light w/3rd Brake Light. It is bright and isn't too hidden. It also is brighter than the old license plate light. I had actually bought that same light you have and didn't like it. This one is pretty good. We also added a plate between the trunk and rear seats. Some sort of peace of mind. The news report was what just pushed me over to install it.

Thanks for sharing this. I have been considering adding this to my stang.

California driver here also and I typically would never add a 3rd brake light either but yours turned out pretty good and doesn’t look bad at all. Nice work

I bought a package tray that included the third brake light but the LED in it was so weak that it was useless until I changed out the bulb for two LED bulbs the size of quarters. It's so bright now there's no way you can miss it.

What gauge wire did you use to run it all the way to the front

Thanks for sharing. What was the make and model of the light you used? I like the fact that it is bright.I have a fastback so I need to figure out if it will fit.

Did you use a T-tap splice?
