I saw a ducky once Buick brake lights are too low

Not my pictures, but saw this car today. The brake lights are definitely not where you'd expect them and annoyingly low

I fixed this nonsense on my Chevy Bolt EUV by running a wire from the center stop light to both higher-placed rear lights, where one expects to see brake lights. This makes those regular rear lights light up when you brake.

Just make sure you put a Zener diode in that wire to ensure one-way current, so that the center brake light doesn't turn on when you turn on the car's lights in the evening.
