Re: HELP, i need third brake light bulbs

Checked a Napa yet? I just bought 4 of them on tuesday for my 88. I don't know why any other part store wouldn't have them. Are you asking for a buld for the third brake light? Or are you taking one with you? If you're asking...thats most likely your problem. The idiots they get to work at most parts stores can't tell the differance between a headlight and tail light (bulb).

Way less expensive than even a single bulb for the spoiler.

Re: HELP, i need third brake light bulbs

That bulb looks familiar, I think at Autozone we keep that bulb next to the fog lights probably just because the number follows.

If for the LED kit, it's just the LEDs that plug into the same socket as the normal bulbs. Should also have a resistor or current limiting diode to splice into your harness. I bought mine when he still had a deluxe kit and it came with a prewired harness, with the necessary component, which installed between the stock harness and the bulb assy. It comes with the necessary instructions which are easy to follow.

Re: HELP, i need third brake light bulbs

Do you have a Home Depot close by? Check the outdoor lighting aisle. Look for replacement bulbs for Malibu brand lights. The ones you want are the 10-watt sized bulbs.

Radio Shack, 20V halogens for $1.99 + tax, or better yet buy the led kit.

A word of advice, DO NOT touch the halogen bulbs with your bare fingers. The oil from your skin will cause hot spots and shorten the bulbs life.
