third brake lights

Hi fun folks! A number of people lately have been looking for third brake lights from a 90-92 Firebird. I have some from the same year Camaros but they seem to be missing a lens bezel of some kind . Are they in fact interchangeable
or too different? Thanks for any assistance

Re: third brake lights

I can't imagine there's any difference. They both mount inside the glass, no reason theyd be different. Of course the only way to be sure is to look up the numbers.

Re: third brake lights

Well, they look very close but there is a guy looking for a Firebird one in the classified section that has a picture that looks like there is an extra bezel of some kind around the lens. Have you looked at that one, or could you and LMK what you think? I'd hate to try and send the wrong one all the way to Hungary!
Appreciate it
Henry

This one?

Looks like the mount that's normally permanently bonded to the glass, is still mounted to the light.

Re: third brake lights

There is usually another piece of plastic to hold the lightbulb (painted in reflective silver). But it does look like they are the same between the cars. EDIT: Nevermind I'm a dummy, didn't see that the piece that's bonded to the windshield is attached in that pic

Re: third brake lights

Yeah, I didn't see that either until Drew pointed it out. Should have just walked out and looked at my car!
