Default Third Brake Light Mod

In the "there are no stupid questions" category

I am looking to do a mod with LED lights on my third break light. I have a 2010 GS, can I assume it has the Z06 spoiler (and third break light), I know it is different than the coupe.

Even though the spoilers are different between the base C6 and the Z06/GS and the ZR1's, the lamp assembly is the same, and interchangable between all models.

I may be mistaken, but I thought the high mounted brake lamp was a LED unit.

You can get them color matched from different vendors as well. Nice touch.

The OEM lense (Coupe, Z, G) is a bulb if I recall. I was looking around to see if anyone made a replacement lens that were LED but after looking at the Brite Ideas pics theirs looks much better than any mod that could be done to the stock lense. Looks like I may have another addition to my Christmas list...
