Third Brake Light?
The third - upper - brake light on my Ford pickup is completely blocked by a truck camper. I don't think I've ever seen a truck camper that has one. Come to think of it, I can't remember ever seeing a trailer that has one, either.
What's up with that?
That third brake light is such an obviously good idea that I can't believe they don't come as standard.
I do see them with 5 lights across the top - two at the outer corners and three clustered together in the center - and I think I remember reading something about DOT required lights on certain widths of truck bodies and trailers. Apparently DOT doesn't require the upper brake light.
Has anyone here added an aftermarket third brake light to their camper? How hard would it be to do? If I do it, am I going to see flashing red lights in my mirrors?
