Re: 3rd brake light
I use replacement bulbs that I snag from radio shack. They aren't a direct bolt in, but they do work. Just bring one of the old bulbs with you. You'll have to trim the prongs a bit, but they work great

Re: 3rd brake light
Do a search here and they will come up. DEFINATELY worth it. The Radio Shack option saves you lots of $$$

Re: 3rd brake light
I don't know the correct bulb part number. My dad replaced his a while ago with bulbs from the lawn/garden section of home depot. The original style was like $8 a piece where as the ones he bought were like $3 a piece. For pretty much the same bulb, and it was a direct fit. I'll ask him what he bought.

Re: 3rd brake light
The 3rd brake lights are the same from the Ttop & coupe cars to the convertibles. I had to replace the entire light(lens & housing) on my 92, and it came from a 1987 Ttop car.

Re: 3rd brake light
I believe sylvania makes heavy duty bulbs for the 3rd brake light. I got all of mine at discount auto and autozone.
