Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - luggage brake light

I wondered if anyone had suggestions on wiring a "high-level" brake light attached to luggage on the rack of a MY2022 P4 with the twin hood brake lights. I was going to brake into the twin lights supply adjacent to the nearside hood attachment to plug in the new light when luggage on and reconnect the twin lights when it's off. The new light feeding wire going under the hood seal. Does this sound like a plan?

I used this LED strip mounted on a wooden batten that straps to top of luggage to replace obscurred cobra.



It offers wiring as tail light (50% lower intensity) as well as brake if fitting permanently. Should be easy to tap into existing tail/brake light wiring.

This is why a black rear number plate makes no sense on such a small car. We followed a black 4/4 early one morning on the M42 around Birmingham, in darkness and heavy rain. All around, reflective plates were markers. His was black so only had the two real lights, when all other rear lights were at least five times bigger. That 4/4 was invisible in the spray.
