Installing Third Brake Light??

Hello

Is it possible to put a third brake light on a camaro that did not come with a third brake light?

Any info or help would be appreciated

Of course it is.

Electrically just connect the +side to one of your existing brake lights or the brake light switch (whichever way would make it easier to hide the wires).

And ground the other side of the bulb.

As far as where to mount the unit, and what type of unit is up to your imagination.

I don’t know why you want one however.

One of the first mods I do on my cars is to REMOVE the dork light, then custom bodywork the area.

The test that was conducted by DOT years ago which led the dweebs to believe dork lights reduced tailgating impacts was flawed because at that time the only vehicles that had any lights in the back window were unmarked police cars.

When a DOT test vehicle was observed braking, the driving public thot it was an unmarked police car and gave the vehicle extra distance.

Fog lights are not driving lights. They look dorky. Turn em off slow pokes.

How bout those dorks too scared to drive without headlights on in the daytime!
