110508, WTB: 3rd brakelight (one that goes in the hatch) Posted by foggy45, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
i got pulled over last night for not having a 3rd brake light. :rolleyes it was pretty much an lisence, registration, proof of insurance stop so he just wrote for a fix it and let me go. since i got rid of my GS low spoiler i havent had one.
so i am looking for the one that goes inside the hatch, and i will need ALL the components for it since i have nothing that used to go there. prefer grey interior but would go for a black one, just no tan.
thanks in advance

If you have two working brake lamps, you do not have to have a 3rd.
I got a ticket for this about 2 years ago, fought it, and got out of it.
Legally, if you have two working brake lamps, there is no need for a third.
Sounds like a dousche cop just needed something to do and to push his power trip over onto you.
All cops are dirty anyway and they are pointless I dont care what anyone says.
Anyway, sorry for hijacking your thread, but I thought I would throw in some info for you about the ticket you got.

Well that depends on where you live!!!! I know when I was home ported in Hawaii you had to have every thing that came stock on the car!!!! If you put mods on the car you had to have some perment ( or some thing like that) with you at all times in the car for EVERY thing you change or add that is not stock. Its been three years since I was there, thier is another member here that live there now and he would know the updated details beter than I. To me it was just a way to for them to just get more money (think $20.00 for every single one) for there over rated islands....

A lot of new GM cars I work on, I notice are not even manufactured with a 3rd lamp anymore.
Anyway to the OP, I think I have a grey one from my old 95 GS down at my parents house, I will be stopping down there Sunday and will take a gander for you.

I had the same problem when I took off my factory wing with the third brake light. I was able to pick up a nice universal led third brake light from autozone for $12 bucks. Check it out if you don't find one on here.

I had to replace one of these one my car too not long ago. It took me forever to find a turbo 3rd brake light. I finally got lucky on Ebay. I think I might still have some extra pieces down in my basement. I pretty sure I have the bracket it mounts to. I'll post back here and let you know.

I checked ... I have a whole assembly in my basement. If you are still looking for one PM me and we'll set something up.
