ANyone know of another car with an LED third brake light that I can quick swap with our stock one? I've seen a few cars that have what LOOKS to be the same third brake light we have but in LED.

 

you could make one pretty easy if you cant find one

 

194 LED bulbs fit

 

buy this. its pretty much same one as the night hawk one modern performance had

Some guys are using a early 2000's Chevy lamp LED strip. The two lamps have to come apart and the Chevy LED strip goes into the Cobalt lamp. Seems to work pretty well. The Chev lamp can be found in a junk yard. OR! you can go to this website, buy a LED strip and resistor and make your own. That's what I did. Works great. Good luck.

buying a resistor and wiring it up isnt worth it for all that work.
if he just buys the link i posted he'll be fine. just unplug the bulbs than plug the led strip into one of the sockets and your all set.

 

Some people have used the Impala LED 3rd. There's a how-to. Let me find it for you.

Thanks guys for all the info.

 

I just changed mine to LED on the weekend. Took the 3rd brake light out of an impala like macattack said. I got a used one from a wrecker. Took all of 20 minuites to put in. Used 2 way tape to hold it on. Looks great

 

im pretty sure a malibu one fits. freshyellowss in MN has one; he just pulled it from a diff gm car and it plugged right in.

 

^^^^^^^ Can anyone else confirm this!??

 

I'll text him

My bad, its a Impala; he thinks a 2000.

 

Thanks buddy! That's an LED third brake light? Direct swap? He's not talking about openeing it up and stuff?

 

ha I'm wrong again, he said it took a little work but its easy. He is texting me about it now.

all im getting is "i dont remember details but its easy"

from a salvage yard they should be super cheap, thats where he got his.

 

Ok, so he's probably talking about opening up the Impala light, taking the LEDS out and pulgging them into our stock one. That's fine, I've read the thread on it. I'm wondering GM makes an LED version of our third brake light that may be in another GM vehicle...

 

ah yes he must of done that. hmm not that I'm aware of, do any gm vehicles use led tails except Cadillac and gmc?

 

dude get that led third brake strip i posted....
i dont see y you wouldnt get that and would wanna mess w impala lighting,
it is same exact visual looks as modern performance ones..
its not trash mine is amazing
