third brake light question

i got a third brake light for my 88 camaro from one of us on the forum, (thanks mac). i had a third brake light from a parts car that was not on the car. it would not mount up because its too thin. i think its for the firebird verts. anyone here know if that true? if so, does anyone need one?

Re: third brake light question





the one in the front is the correct light that fits in the rear spoiler of the camaro. the one in the back is thinner, and angled differently. that the one im asking if it belongs to the firebird.

Re: third brake light question

The one in the back thats shaped differently is from an 88 sport coupe.It will only fit the low rise spoiler found on 1988 camaros.I have one here that I had as a spare for my 88 camaro before I sold the car

Re: third brake light question

I thought the spoilers on the 91-92 Firebirds were the same as the 1987-1992 Camaros... I know the 1987 - 1989 Firebirds are definately different.
