@Ace
Here is a 3rd hi-mount LED brake light.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/166891030557

When my friends follow, they say it is very noticeable. It is an e-Bay item for about $44.97. It attached with 3M molding tape; the light weighs nothing. We used a heat gun to gently, patiently introduce a slight curve to the light to match the "role bar" hoop. A cardboard template of the roof curve would help; heat the light and bend to match. We mounted it in from the trim a little bit; no holes, just tape.

The hardest part would be getting thin wires through to the light. We had removed my back glass to replace it with a much nicer glass and did this then. The wire comes out at the top center of the glass and is not visible as it goes right to the light. I do not know if you could fish a wire through the glass and chassis at the top or not with glass installed.

They also offer a red lens LED for about $15.00. I got the smoked lens because when it is not illuminated, you can't really see it.
