I installed a third brake light at the top of the rear window, & installed a blue dot lens in the center of the red lens; looks really hokey, but it's bright, attention-getting purple from behind, & vehicles 3-4 back know when I'm stopping. I also installed an adjustable vacuum switch that triggers the brake lights on deceleration, but not at idle. Kind of trickey to adjust-sometimes it engages between upshifts, but people behind know when I'm slowing down even if I don't hit the brakes. Austin
