I sent pics.

Buy any type of 3rd brakelight with relay installation and dump trashy 3rd brakelight. Bought and mounted C4 brakelight on top (screws from below, gasket with the set, painted) and picked up wiring from brakelight and directional signals that run along driver side inner post and wired them into the new relay to operate as a C4 (double lights double element bulbs etc.) I don't have backup lights, don't seem to be required by law.

Don't know if I woulda bothered, but as usual you have done nice work on your Vette and it turned out REAL good. Don't think its ricey at all. Then again, I own rice. ;)

DP77Vette,

I bought them on eBay.
They cost $11 ($6 bid + $5 shipping).
I'm pretty sure that you can get them in local auto parts stores too (Advance Auto, AutoZone, Pep Boys, etc.).
You may have to look around for the white ones; most of the time they seem to be blue or red.


And BTW, Thanks for the nice comments everyone :)
Jerry
