Actually, you don't need the 3rd brake light. It is only an extended safety feature. The actual law requires you to have 2 orange to red brake lights on opposing sides.

From 375/40(b) of the NYS V&T Laws:

"Every vehicle manufactured after 1962 shall be equipped with at least two stop lamps, one on each side, each of which shall display a red to amber light visible at least five hundred feet from the rear of the vehicle when the brake of such vehicle is applied."

So even if one brake light burns out, you still get a ticket, even with the 3rd.
