I thought there was a PLUG AND PLAY kit that did that out there...if anyone knows the name and can link me, I'd appreciate it!
Been looking for awhile for a "3rd/4th" brake light kit...besides Valenti n etc.

Its easy to get the pieces yourself and do this. I made my own kit and harness. Had an extra 1157 red led bulb from autozone laying around that I got a while ago, you can also use a 3157 bulb and socket. So ordered an 1157 dual circuit socket and a pulse module (this is optional) from SuperBrightLEDs. So at the least, its a dual circuit bulb, the socket for that bulb, wiring, and connectors.
To hook it up you run three wires from the reverse light to the taillight area; one for negative, one for the brake light, and the third for parking brake (there is a lot of instructions on the web on where to run the wire, where to hook up the wires, and what connectors to use).
The easiest is to take the reverse light assembly out and work on it. I have taken it out with the stock muffler on you just have to flex the bumper and shimmy it out of there. Drill a hole for your new socket, there is a flat circle, using a 1" hole saw. File down the tabs on the socket and test fitment, do this over and over till it fits nice and snug; you may not need to file the tabs down all the way. Then use some silicone to seal it up. Hook up the wires and test to see if your new lights work. Then secure the wire to the exciting wires with some wire ties, clean up and your done.
