Thanks for the suggestions so far.

The difficult part is trying to find a lamp that will fit and is ADR compliant. The angle around the number is about 45 degrees so it might to much of angle to be allowable.

I have seen the Subaru lights and thought they look pretty good. I would rather have only one light, the shape of this light would need 2. These lights are on my maybe list if I decide to use 2.

Mando,
To fit the 3rd brake light in boot I would form a recess (along the shadow line on the boot in the picture above) and find a light that has approx the same curve as the boot. Subaru Imprezza, Holden Vectra, Mazda 3 and Mitsubishi 380 all have lights that suit. The Holden and Subaru light clip in from the outside which is preferable.

Have had this thought about a temp reverse light for rego, but the vehicle needs to painted for rego, so if I decide on a light that needs to have a recess cut into the panel it needs to done before it is painted.

I can use a Hella 3rd stop like on the AC Cobras, but I am trying to find something that is more with modern era of the vehicle.

Hella make a clear LED light the same as the red LED 3rd stop light which would work well for a reverse light, but the clear light has no ADR approval.
