92 TA vert 3rd brakelight bulbs?

Tried a few autoparts stores today and nobody has ever seen the small bulbs used on the trunklid mounted brakelight. Anyone know who carries them?

Had to trim the legs a bit, but they work great

If you are in need of the ones with the solid pins, They are Radioshack #272-1177
Don't remember the price. They are also a 20Watt bulb not 10 as came from the factory. So...... don't sit at the drive-in with your foot on the brake, You may warp the lens.....

Future reference I believe the bulb # is 891. They used to be something like $8-10 a bulb and I saw they've dropped them down to $2-3. It's the same light as a regular camaro.

Re: 92 TA vert 3rd brakelight bulbs?

Anyone try pre-made LED bulbs for the G4 base rather than replacing with the 891 bulbs?

I did the #891 halogen route and 1 burnt out after 2000kms. Now thinking LED might be better but did not want to end up with 5 dots (the 891 halogens flood the light nicely).

G4-WHP at SuperbrightLED:

or on Ebay:

or:

do they have to be red LEDs or does white work too? I kinda remember a rule about one not working well.
