What does the third brake light bulb look like? (brake light in wing)

I opened up my third brake light to see what bulbs were out and there was nothing in there. Anybody have a picture of the bulbs that go into the third brake light for Camaro's with the brake light in the wing?

Thanks for the help

Hey thanks man. Oh yeah i finally got my louvers all done and they came out great!!! Your double bubble did the trick. I just need to find how to keep them from jumping up and down. There are these brackets on the side but they don't go anywhere weird. But thanks again!!

These bulbs are available at most Radio Shack stores for way cheaper than they are at most auto parts stores. There is an old thread on here somewhere that tells the Radio Shack part number.

Re: What does the third brake light bulb look like? (brake light in wing)

When on to radio shack and type in the number and nothing came up. All I see is is a
Feit Electric T-3 12V/10W Halogen Mini Lamp
and
Feit Electric T-3 12V/50W Halogen Mini Lamp
not
12V 20 Watt Halogen

Could use some cause I really don't want to pay 5 dollors for each bulb cause i got to replace them and not get the right once.

Ok i'm now with irockid86 with wanting to know more on the LED mod. The bulbs are very cheap compared to the factory bulbs and I don't mean price I mean you try to push them in and they crack.
