I did fit a stick on led brake light at the top of the rear window a couple of weeks ago. I was happy with it until it fell off! I'm currently
looking at how else I can mount it without drilling the body if possible. Possibly velcro it firmly to the carpet just below the back window.

You can get the bulbs with dual pins etc...
same looking as the ones You have there...
I have a pair...
I didn't think they were bright enough in daylight for tail/stop..

Hi
This is my effort, fabricated the brackets and modified the light
|
Does it reflect much off the inside of your rear screen when you hit the brakes? Just wondered as it seems mounted a little way off the glass.
Other than that, it looks much cooler then most cheap plastic ones.

Hi,
No it does not reflect much light into the interior, you do no realy notice it, on my karman beetle convertable i have a extra brake light mounted
inside the boot lid and you can see it through the vents, you do not know that it is there until you brake
