Default SS 3rd tail light??

Every camaro SS i have seen has the same problem with the 3rd break light breaking threw the screws. Mine is no exception and i have been trying to find replacement brake lights for it. If anyone knows of a website that sells these for a reasonable price please let me know what it is.

i looked for a year and a half, and finally found one new on ebay for 80 bucks, good luck, those things are extinct, only way is to suck it up and buy one from the dealer....i wish somebody would make aftermarket ones, im sure they would make alot of money

mine are currently broken. what i did was put some washers on the screws to give it a larger gripping area. this makes the washers and screw heads stick out a bit, but its been holding tight now for 5 years with no problems.

Ha, I thought I was the only one with this problem! I just bought mine from the dealer...I think it was like $120, which is ridiculous. Let us know where you find one.

Thanks. I tried to use some super glue on it but that only held for a day and my buddy had washers on his and i didn't like it so i think im just going to go with a new one and make sure not to overtighten it as the guys at slp seemed to do.
