Default 3rd Brake Light

I am trying to find out about the 3rd Brake light which will also work with turn signals. Any ideas.
I have been told that a firm named J & L sales them but do not know.
I have turn signals with a toggle switch and 6V flasher but would like to get a package of a good light with turn signal capabilities.
Thanks for your help, Dick B.

I ordered mine from Brattons and it works great. It has the option to be hooked up to the signal lights (one side will flash), however, I just wired mine back to the brake switch. It works with the brakes come on and flashes on and off when the hazard lights are on. Great visability.

I have the J&L Enterprise 3rd Brakelight and it works great. You can hook it up to flash with the directional lights if you wish or you can have it work with just the brake lights. Your choice and it's easy to hook up

I bought mine from Auto Zone for like $25. I also connected to the brake switch and I love it. I was rear ended once and nearly rear ended a second time before I bought it. It was money well spent. People may say they don't look natural stuck to the back of a Model A, but trust me neither does a 99 Buick Century!

Wink Re: 3rd Brake Light

For the turn signal part check out the Logo Lites http://www.logolites.com/ nice (pricy) quick set up. They don't sell a third brake light any more ? Has any body seen a third brake light that could go in the center of a rear mounted spare. Maybe a repacement for the hub cap or part of it ?
