I bought a LED universal brake light on Ebay for about $8. I bought as short a light as I could get.(24 LED's and about 7 1/2" long) I took it apart and determined that it could fit into my roll bar trim. Since I just bought a parts car I felt I had an extra roll bar trim to experiment with...so I did. The trim will be painted black so it should blend in even better.
I've yet to mount it on the car, it will be tight but I think I can make it work. Either way, for $8 it was worth the dream of a nice high mounted brake light. Attached image(s)

Nice ........................ I did Gwen's something like that, I think. Been a few years, and I disremember perzackly. FWIW, mounting it on the engine lid kinda defeats the concept of "center high mounted stop light", doesn't it?
