Abstract

A third brake light is attached to a rear deck door panel of a truck so as not to interfere with opening/closing of the door panel. The third brake light includes a base attached to the door panel of the truck and forming an exposed surface to which a plurality of illuminators, such as light-emitting diodes, light bulbs and cold light panels, is mounted. An electrical cable electrically connects the illuminators to an electricity system of the truck. A light-transmitting cover having a size and shape corresponding to the base is attached to the exposed surface of the base for shielding and protection of the illuminators.
