You right, didn't notice this. Checked and one wire was not attached correctly.

You'll be waiting a long long time. Not many companies are coming out with new products for these cars. If you don't pick up one of these, you'll be living with the stock light a long time unless you make your own

Anyone have any issues running these with LED tail.brake lights? I had to take mine off b/c my brake lights came on when the parking/headlights were on... but only with the ignition on. It left me baffled for days. Pulled this off and installed an incandescent bulb. No more problem. This was on a 2002 TA with EF32RL flasher relays(one with the ground wire).

You can always rewire the 3rd brake light by splicing into one of the tail light socket wiring. I did this on an LT1 TA I had, when I changed the rear hatch from a low spoiler to a Hi-rise spoiler. Also did this to an LS1 TA when the 3rd brake light had no electrical power getting to it.

Hey man. I installed LED tail lights on my 01 camaro & had the same problem. I think I noticed my 3rd brake light staying on very dim. Like you stated. What I did was find the signal wire for the brake lights under the dash. I cut the wire & spliced in a diode. Problem fixed. Hope this helps your problem.

Glad I ordered mine last weekend for $45, now the only one in stock wants $120 for them. I've been looking for one of these for years.
