Default SS 3rd Brake light

I am just wondering if anyone here has had a proble with the 3rd brake light on their SS? Mine is loose and appears that the lense is cracking around the bolts.

Common problem on many SS Camaro's. And to make it worse, replacement is hard to find and expensive when found.

Hawk's Third Gen has the 12" LED replacement to fit the OEM SS wing. $60 shipped last time I checked.

Please let me know what you think of the light once you get it and put it in place. I have been hesitating on ordering one for an extra aftermarket SS wing that I bought six months ago.
