Sure, I guess, never seen one.
I was thinking on the rollhoop lookin thing over the rear seats. If I could get one off an '86, that would be great. Anyone got pics?

I think he's thinking of a cargo light, not a brake light.

I am thinking of a cargo light, so I can see when I'm trying to pack up all my stuff when I go hunting/fishing. I'd like to rig it up so it comes on when the hatch is open.

My 92RS has one, on the plastic panel right in the back just below the electric hatch pull-down thing. Maybe you can get the parts from a junkyard?

Isn't the wiring already there for the light too? If it is should be a piece of cake!

Thanks
I checked the wiring diagrams at ,http://www.geocities.com/vtcamaro/Wire-Diagrams.html, and it looks to me (I'm no expert) like the wiring isn't there unless you ordered the light. Oh well, it looks like I'll be paying a visit to the local junk yard.
