Center High Brake Light ideas, please

Greetings. I've done the search and don't find a thread on this topic.
Wondering what people have done in this area. I have a Plus 2 I want to retrofit with a center high brake light. Always wanted it to be at the top of the rear windscreen/window, but the wiring and mounting are not nearly so easy (given the headliner attaches directly under the glass rubber seal, leaving no place to fasten light unit, nor to hide wiring). I am willing to accept a light mounted to the rear edge of the parcel panel, up against the inside of the rear window.
But what unit to buy? Angles? Problems with reflection off the glass window? Flasher devices?
Love to hear people's thoughts and experiences. Thanks!

I think that is the right one...
I think the details on John's are on the second page of the thread I linked to.

Okay, thanks, Mr Bell. I think I understand the link now (have to read through a page of viglink to find the "continue on to Summit Racing" link). Nice led unit.
And I knew this would happen to me: soon as I start a new thread, I discover there is a perfectly good discussion happening. Wish the search function worked better. Apologies to all.
And a good discussion there of how John did the 3 foot long led strip in his car. Great.

Really like the idea of pulsing center high brake light . . .
Has anyone given any thought to these flasher units? Some examples:

Interesting that the state of California has legislation, apparently, regarding the type of flashing your brake lights can do . . .

The state of California has regulations on about anything you can think of. I lived there for thirty years but they regulated me right into Nevada.
