Bob & others! I installed a 3rd brake light of a bar of LEDs from a recent Chevy Suburban on the top louver. It is below the roofline and looks factory. Costly at about $ 110 but I think worth it.

The safety studies originally conducted in Sweden and then on Torandos in the US with third brake lights showed that they reduce rear end crashes by almost 20%. The Corvette brake light looks really nice. The only improvement I would suggest is changing the light over to high intensity LEDs. The LEDs illuminate at little faster than incandescent bulbs and consequently, provide a little faster reaction time to the driver behind you. At 60 mph., this time difference can mean a shorter breaking distance of at least 5 feet.
