4th/F1/JDM Brake Light

I've searched and searched to no avail. Apparently, no one with a 3G TL has modified their car with the addition of a 4th/F1/JDM brake light. I've wanted one of these on my other cars, however, none ever had a section on the rear bumper similar to how the TL has, making it somewhat easy to integrate. These brake lights are a common modification on WRX's, STi's, and GT86/FR-S/BRZ's in the states. In addition to added visibility, I also think they look phenomenal. I plan on using the middle of the garnish in the rear bumper to integrate mine. Here is a concept of what I'm envisioning:



As I make further progress, I'll make sure I update this thread in case anyone else is interested in this modification.

If someone happens to have already made this modification to their car, please chime in and share a picture of your setup!

I googled "4th brake light" and added "site:acurazine.com" to the end and that limits searches to just this domain and found the following threads:

Technically speaking those "F1/JDM/4th brake lights" aren't brake lights at all, they're rear fog lights, used to see the car in front. Rear fog lights are common in other markets; in the US, not so much. When the TL was sold new in China it was equipped with a lower rear fog light and relocated reverse lights.
