Default LED third brake light on a 1999 trans am.LOTS OF PICS!!

I ordered this off of ebay for 65. It took about 10 minutes or less to install. It plugs right into the sockets for your lightbulbs in your third brake light. I agree it will probably look better blacked out. Yes I know the car is dirty.lol Here are the pics.............

no. it won't work for a base firebird/formula either. that brake light cover is unique to the uplevel T/A spoiler.

Yeah it's really bright, and I have no problems with it. I believe the y have black, chrome, or smoked, and yes I think its worth the money imo.

Thanks for the pics! Doesn't look bad. A light VHT coat and clearcoat would look sweet

^ I think your thinking about the one that comes with the Camaro SS spoliler from "TheSpoilerCompany". I could be wrong but I know what your talking about and I'm wanting to think it was what I said with the SS spoiler.

Always wondered how those looked. I wanted to swap the clear housing for a stock red one though.
