LED light for third brake light?

Probably not the right spot for this thread, but which LED should I get to replace my third brake light thats' in the spoiler? I've got an Aero Spoiler from an 88.

See if they have a led version of the bulb. What bulb does it have, or show a picture of it.

In my CHMSL, I have four 906 bulbs which may be a T15 wedge LED lamp. Your mileage may vary.

I would show it, except I haven't got one to show you. I haven't had a bulb in the socket since I got the car in 2002. I've got the Aero Wing on it but the car didn't originally come equippped with the bulb (88 spoiler, 84 Car), so I figured I might as well hook it up.

Do you have the owner's manual that is usually stashed in the glove box? Mine has a list of every bulb on my car. Take a look in there to see if you can locate which bulb you need.

Re: LED light for third brake light?

Take one of the two wire bulbs to Radio Shack and find a similiar LED with two wires. You will also need a a resistor for the LEDS (not just a plug in).
