Best to keep the stop light on when waiting at traffic lights as that's powered by bike battery. If you want an extra rear light fit an LED cycle rear light, internal batteries last ages. No good wiring an LED rear light to existing rear light bulb as an LED lamp will not work off AC direct lighting

good idea with the stop light also done the cycle light may now live another evening
