    3rd Brake Light - "Corvette" style from Special T Auto

    I'm looking for the 86-90 Corvette style 3rd brake light, the same one Special T Auto had for sale. It doesn't seem like he will be stocking them any more. If someone has one that they bought, never installed, and looking to sell it I would be interested in it.

    Try www.car-part.com

    It allows you to search all salvage yards in the country vs searching specific places individually. The same brake light used on the Vette's were also used on 1986 Camaros.

    Or your local Chevy dealer. The TBL from a 98-ish Suburban/ Tahoe etc. is readily available and looks about the same. It's already black.

    Thanks again Dave. Next time I'm driving past a Chevy dealer I'll inquire about it. Do you know off hand if this light has LEDs or is incandescent? Personal preference is the incandescent.

    They are LEDs.

    Ok. I'll wait a bit and see if anyone replies to my post before I run out and buy one. Seems like most if not all are LED anyway.

    The old Corvette unit I got had three incandescent bulbs. Very bright but I wanted the faster light of LEDs.

    I had bought a used one from eBay for about $25, then ended up reselling it on eBay. I decided to make my own $15.

    A quick skim search of eBay shows a few for $300! Just gotta keep searching and find the right seller.

    Can't remember what I paid but it was less than $50. Mine was EBay and was NOS so it was only primed gray.
