A while ago, I asked for instructions on how to mount and wire a roof
mounted LED Brake light. The problem...I can't find the notes I made or the
conversation itself.

Could someone remind me what I have to do?

Thanks

Mike,

An alternative is to run a dedicated wire from the brake switch
back to the 3rd brake light. That bypasses the turn switch.
It's easier with an empty interior, but I think doable when not empty.

FWIW

Adrian

That is an option . When I did the front half, I buried just short of 6
million wires in the left side wall from front to rear just for a situation
like this ! I'll see what Scott comes up with when he checks his
warehouse.
Now that they are in the wall, I'd hate to use one in case I need some
later..there must be a psychologist on here who could help me ??

mike,

I'm sure you can afford to let loose 1 wire for the brake light.
How many more things are on the add list.
The more you add, the more you have to fix. KISS.

Your agony.
