Hi Chaps, On my Locost, where the lights are really low, I fitted a cheap after- market LED brakelight to the roll-bar, for the same reasons.
It is a strip of LEDs on a circuit board, fitted in an ABS 'U'- section, with a mounting block at each end. It is adjustable to any sensible angle, by slackening the screws to the mounting blocks. I think the brand was "All-ride" or something similar. Sold by the cheap hardware shops. Costs about a fiver. My only concern would be water-proofness on a regularly, used car. Isn't an issue on the Locost which isn't used in wet weather, due to lack of luxuries like a windscreen, etc., so I didn't look into it, but you would have to have a look and see what you think. probably wouldn't be too bad with the careful use of vaseline and/or silicone sealant in the critical areas. I got a few from a wholesaler, and I may have a spare one, if you can't find one locally. Dave.
