Third Brake Light Add ?

Third Brake Light Add ?
I'm thinking about adding a third brake light (the more lights the better chance someone will see them!) and was wondering what the folks here thought of this.
I had a 93 GXE to which I added a spoiler so it had both the 3rd light and the brake light on the spoiler and I thought it looked OK.
How difficult would it be to add the 3rd light, especially from an electrical viewpoint?
Any opinions welcome. If you have one you might like to sell, please contact me.

Damn...wish I had kept the third light when the Nissan dealership installed my spoiler...
My personal opinion is that it looks dumb having the extra light, because then everyone knows that the wing on the back of the car wasn't stock, or the person installing it was lazy,
but on the other hand...I do see your point about avoiding accidents.
It might be a little difficult on the SEs, since there's no cutout behind the back seat already for the light. I don't know if there's even wiring under there for a third brake light. I know that there's wiring in the trunk from the spoiler, so you might be able to do a custom job and wire a third brake light from inside the trunk by tapping into the spoiler light. I'm just guessing here though, your best bet would be to ask a Nissan service guy what the wiring is like in your trunk and if it would be possible.
