Third brake light on a dent?
Has anyone adapted a third brake light from a later model truck onto a dent? Some may not care for them but I would like the extra security the brake light up high on the back of the cab would provide.

Third Light
Canus, I did what Pickupmanx2 has suggested and it works great. I went to the local pic & pull and got a cargo lamp with the wiring for my 71 F-100 4x4. I bought a red 1157 LED tail light bulb so I did not have to paint the glass lens, then I tied to the brake wire at the pedal switch and to the running light circuit behind the dash, be sure you have a good ground location. I used a hole saw and tin snips to cut out the hole for the light then filed the edges smooth with a file and dabbed a little paint to cover the bare metal. I can't remember the details in the light fixture but if you want the info I can pull it out and take a look at what I did or did not have to do. All I remember was that it was pretty easy to figure out.
