Mostly you find brake lights sold in stores like Pep Boys, Ace Hardware, Auto Zone, and your local mechanic will also help you find a good brake light and be able to install it for you. But installing it yourself is not hard and you can usually find help from an associate that works at Auto Zone or Pep Boys.

How do you install a third brake light on an older car?
First you buy a good-quality 3rd brake light kit appropriate for the mounting angle on your particular car -- see the links below for examples. If your car's left and right brake lights are separate from the left and right rear turn signals (different bulbs for the brake lights and turn signals), then you just follow the instructions with the kit. If your car has combination brake/turn lights (the same red light burns steadily for brake light or flashes for turn signal) then you must run a new wire from the brake light switch to the rear of the car to feed the new 3rd brake light -- cars with combination brake/turn lights route power from the brake light switch through the turn signal switch and then from there to the back of the car; if you try to get away without running the new wire, the 3rd brake light won't work properly and you'll backfeed other lighting circuits with random results.
