Would also highly recommend an LED strip-light, such as the one from "Logo-lites" (?, "Brakeliter"?), mounted in the rear window. It is an LED array about 1 inch high by about 12 inches long.

It is fairly unobtrusive when not lit, and can be attached in a non-damaging manner to the car ( I made some clips there are secured by the interior garnish moulding.).

This unit can be wired to function as full-width stop, or Left-half / Right-half turn / Full width stop, depending on how your vehicle is set-up.

The advantage is that mounting in the rear window puts the bright LEDs right up in the sight-line of most modern drivers. It's hard to ignore.

Even if you brighten the OEM stop/tail light with LEDs, their small size and low placement may be not noticeable to modern (distracted) drivers.
