Nice. How hard was it to fit to the top edge there? What is its vertical dimension?

I looked all over for something that would fit there a while back, but gave up. Now, eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/MG-TF-HIGH-LEVEL-BOOT-BRAKE-LIGHT-ASSEMBLY-XFG000051-BRAND-NEW-GENUINE-/142120198668

Leave it with me I'll dig out my old records and take measurements. The PO did it. I'll email him and see if he can recollect

That does look better. The one I linked is curved across the front, which wouldn’t match the roof edge very well.

BTW, sorry for the slight derail. Considering all of the rear ended Europas, I think a third brake light is a good addition, if it can be done cleanly.

I also added a 3rd high LED brake light. $15 Canadian plus wire tied into the rear brake circuit. Siliconed in place for easy removal for when I do a repaint.
