Additional brake lights???

[Paul Parker]

Has anyone added any additional brake lights?  I want something subtle when not lit up, but something really obvious to the idiots behind me when I'm stopping.

Probably close to the very top of ‘must do’ items related to driving in modern traffic….. Studebaker  Avanti tail lights are simply too small to be clearly noticed by other drivers…. who are probably driving too fast or on their cell phones anyway!…. A bright third brake light dead center at the bottom of the rear window is an excellent idea…I added one to my own ‘63 Avanti twenty years ago.

PS….. I suppose a third brake light installed at the interior TOP of the rear window would work just as well.

Have you considered going to LED bulbs in your factory tail/brake light housing?  They are very bright compared to the old-style bulbs, adding a 3rd brake light I think would look out of place and to some people gaudy but to others, not,,,
