Jim, I looked at the electrical drawing in "Morgan Four" that I think
represents your wiring layout.  Your turn signals are separate from
the brake lights.  To add a third brake light just connect to the
brake wire in the main harness which goes to the rear part of the car.
This wire should be green and purple.

If you are just adding a light with a small incandescent lamp the
wiring should be adaquete.  If the new lamp is halogen, xenon or some
other current-hungry device then you may want to run a new, heavier
wire back to the brake light switch and connect all three brake lights
to te new wire.  Clean all connections well and test for smoke before
sallying forth on the next beer run.

Tony Souza
