There are all kinds of red LED brake lights that are ready to wire into the brake light wiring.
I will probably go that route. I was trying to use the rear turn signals and find red lenses and make a mount that would look a like the turn signals just underneath.
I did this 38 years ago to a 1983 R80RT, sold in 1998, just bought a replacement 1983 R80RT, and wanted to make the same.

When I got my Airhead it bothered me that the brake light only had one bulb and no light failure mechanism. I replaced it with a LED (from Motorad Electric, I think) and also bought an LED strip that mounts on the license plate. I hate finding out that my brake light has failed by hearing squealing brakes.

These guys make lite buddy’s. They have red led lights that fit inside the existing rear turn signal pods. They are usually wired to the tail light so that you have three red tail lights, but you could wire them up to the brake wire instead and you would have three red brake lights. The red led lights shine red even when they are mounted in the amber pod.
Are they still in business? How do I place an order.
The phone numbers did'nt work?

EPM Performance Imports? I didn’t try calling, but Google search seems to indicate that they are still in business. I was in contact with them a couple of years ago, when a deer smashed a front turn signal and I had to replace the running light.
