Default Where's an LED 3rd brake light?

I've seen a few on Trans Ams, and they look incredible. Every thread has said EBay, but the only one on there is a flush formula/firebird one and I need one for the raised Trans Am spoiler.

Been looking for almost 2 hours now, keep running into dead ends. Help?

Should be the same part. The 3rd brake light is interchangeable between firebird trim levels.

I ordered one off ebay and said was for my ws6 but wasnt. Only for low profile spoilers, didn't cover opening all the way. Looking for one as well.

The ones for the raised spoiler are specific to it, and you won't find one. I've looked everywhere, Apparently they aren't made anymore. Only option would be to find someone who is willing to sale theirs...and good luck with that.

You won't find a new one anywhere. I was very lucky to find one that someone was selling. Good luck with your search.

Beginning to sound like I wasted 2 1/2 hours of my life when I should have just asked here in the beginning.

Might try a couple salvage yards, luckily there's 2 here that specialize in Camaro/Firebirds. Mostly F-Bodies also

I actually bought one for my T/A when you could find them on EBay. The only thing I didn't care for about it was that you could see the circuit board behind the LEDs and everything through the top side. I ended up painting the top body color to cover it up. Wonder if that has something to do with them not being made anymore?

Yup, no longer being made or sold. Glad I got mine when I did. Good luck finding anything at a junkyard. They weren't for sale for too long and they were made pretty recently.
