Re: [DML] 3rd brake light kit

While I was in Tokyo a few years ago, I got a report that one of the 
PNDC members had been rear-ended for the fourth time. Right then, I 
decided that a high-mounted third brake light was in order. I found a 
store in downtown Tokyo that had generic high-intensity LED brake 
lights that came in various lengths, and could be attached with 
double-sided tape. These lights are clear in appearance, until the 
LED's are activated. They shine a very intense and bright red. I got 
two units that were the exact length of each side of the louver, with 
the rib down the middle. They are mounted to the underside of the top 
louver, on either side of the rib, and cannot be seen from inside and 
are not obvious at all from the outside. I feel that the setup on 
Winged1 is very good as compared to some of the other installations 
that I have seen out there. I will try to get a photo uploaded in the 
near future. Always remember to watch your backside!
