Just wanted to share another option for an auxiliary brake light. Black Oak LED makes a “Rock Light” - waterproof, shock proof etc., quite bright, and very easy to install. I used two of these for under hood lighting on my truck (the clear version) and figured one red one would be perfect for an auxiliary brake light.
I used 1/8” Kydex to make a small mount for the light behind and under the license plate, ran the wire up to the license plate light wire, following it into the under seat area and soldered it in to the brake light and ground. These draw .35a, are $40 ($34 right now) and the red is 220 lumens. Not obnoxious, but bright!
