You can add an 86 and up harness to the hatch or a relay from the 2 brake lights.

tap into the rear tail lights using a light tester and someone pushing on the brakes

I'm not sure if the harness is plug and play. If it fits, it very well likeyly will work. If not, the worst part is behinde you. 2 wires to the brake lights and to a relay will give you 1 output for the 3rd brake light. I was planning on doing this to my 84 SVO since the 84 spoiler was obsolete. Finally found a used 84 spoiler.
