I dont know what kit you are talking about.
Why would you want to add another "3rd brake light"?
Or are you trying to modify it somehow?
If you want the light to say "Ram Air", you can paint the lens or buy one already painted.
Here are some rough instructions to paint it:
* Sand off the casting numbers if you want and buff the lens back to a shine
* Thouroughly clean the lens
* Buy some letter stickers (in the sign section of an office supply store) and put them on the lens.
* You might want to use some high grit sandpaper (maybe 1000 grit, dunno ?) to scuff the surface that will get painted
* Primer the lens (can be skipped, but helps the paint bond better)
* Paint the lens any color you want (probably body color)
* Use an X-Acto (or other hobby/utility knife) to cut the paint where the letters meet the lens and peel up the letters.
* Spray some clear over the whole thing.
* Wet sand and buff it you want a completely smooth finish.
This is what I am talking about:

It this what you are talking about?
Anyone know if the 3rd brake light lens on the V6 & Formula is the same as the T/A?

That is the only place that I know of that has the brake light like that. Or you could just do it yourself

i changed my third brake light to a custom one. take it off and clean it very good you can either paint what you want or vinyl. if its done right it will look great. i painted it with the same color as the car. you can only see it when i hit the brakes. i have recieved alot of comments on it. it looks great. i would say what it says but a couple of people have copied me all ready. but anyway gl with the project.
