Default LED 3rd brake light

Does anyone make an LED 3rd brake light for the 2003 vintage Z06 that has a red lense? Not interested in chrome or blacked out or Euro this or that. I've combed and googled the hell out of the internet. Missing something here?

Also, many moons ago, mod'ers we're doing a paint method for changing clears to red. Basically it was a rattle can approach with a transparent red with a clear coat finish. Anyone ever gone that route on anything?

Thanks for any heads up.

The 3rd eye brake light IS an LED light. It's a single unit you don't change bulbs for.

LOL! It's ok... I didn't even know it until I bought a damn C5. And I was obsessed with them.
