Default Third Brake light (LED)

Help where can I get a new 3rd LED. It hasn't worked for as long as I can remember. When I took it out I found the plug on the light had a broken prong. I tested the wires and they are fine I just need a new light. The dealer wants serious $$$$. I was hoping that someone would know an aftermkt co. that has a better price.

HI
I had the same problem ,I thought it was working only to find out it was not. I checked the dealer and all my catalogs and found it to be around 100.00 plus to replace so I started checking out ebay and ended up getting one for about 35.00 shipped .

Good luck
Dave

Was that from a dealer with regular supplies or a one off sale?

I could do with getting hold of 2 but not at $100 each

Check with Gene at Karshop. I needed one for my garage wall art. I think I paid about $35 at Carlisle.

Hi
That price was from a local Chevy dealer .I gave them the line that I know someone with a body shop discount and how much would that be but I think that only got it down to about 95.00 and some change . I would go the ebay route or Karshop I believe I also checked with him and it turned out I won one on ebay for the same price otherwise that was my next move.
