Default ss third brake light on Z28

Well i got a second hand ss spoiler that was cracked and missing a third brake light. I got the spoiler fixed and after searching high and low for one at a price that was reasonable i found one on ebay from some slp company for 49.95 buy it now. Fit great and looks good but the light barely stayed on once you turn the key on. I figured out how to fix it by putting a 5.1v 5 amp zener diode in line with the 12 volt source to the light. Another thing to keep in mind is polarity and which way to place the band on the diode. I put mine with the band facing the plug or the front of the car. Some times i scratch my head and say why the **** did that work......... but it did............. so i don't really care. lol
