Default 3rd Brake Light Mounted on Top of Rear Window - Audi A7

I saw this coming home from work today and thought it was really cool, LED brake light on the top of the rear window on this Audi A7.
I believe some late model Oldsmobile Auroras had it mounted like that too. Would look nice on the monte no plans to do this, maybe an idea for someone?!

It would look cool but I'm not sure how you can do it. The top of the back window is blacked out.

I saw one of those the other day too. I agree it looks pretty cool. But as Lou said you wouldn't be able to mount this on the inside. You'd have to custom fab something up to fit on the outside right by the window trim. It could look sweet if done right

I found a better picture, you guys are right something would have to be fabricated. It is actually in a molding of sorts outside of the car.

id still like to try it... how would the red light bar with reverse lights in it look? if you could find it? it would be a cheap mod so if it looks stupid just rip it off...

Something like this?

This is a 49" light bar from a company called RECON goes under the tailgate on a pickup. Would be pretty cool cuz theres turn signals integrated as well. You could probably mount this on the top but it would look like an afterthought. If its going to look right it would have to be taken apart then placed in a custom housing.

It would also look cool mounted on the bottom of the trunk or molded in the rear spoiler. The trunk is ~ 47" across and the spoiler is about ~ 49" so you would have to find something shorter there (on my 7th gen).
