brianstarr58 Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 I just purchased three 3rd brake light bulbs for my 95 vert off of ebay. They were 4.99 each. It was the 891 bulb. Here's the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/160858176376?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas Escobar Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 You can get them from home depot for the same price as well. They're T4 bulbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imp558 Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Do those just solder in? It would be cheaper to convert it to high brightness LEDs with a 1k resistor to limit the current. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabsOlds Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 They push in, snug fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgjii Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 I know the thread is a few months old... I was just choking on $10/bulb x 3 for the third brake light. I purchased 3 NOS GE 891 bulbs ($5/ea) and then one of them clouded up instantly and and is dimmer than the other two... Now I am re-considering my options. The 891 bulb spec is G4 Base 8W / 138Lumens. And these little boogers get HOT! Anybody tried the Philips 10W Equivalent Bright White (3000K) T3 Landscape Capsule LED Light Bulb with 105 Lumens from Home Depot for $5.97/ea? Or the 20W version with 195 Lumens, same price? Or Albrillo G4 LED Bulb Dimmable 1.5W, 20 Watt Halogen Bulbs Equivalent, AC DC 12V, Warm White, 4 Pack from Amazon for $15? These were reviewed as being small and fitting tight/original spaces better than most LED versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabsOlds Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 I'm curious to know how those turn out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT2B GM Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 I put a cut down LED strip in mine from a venture / montana van. Galaxie500XL, rich_e777 and Imp558 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galaxie500XL Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 My IROC uses a weird bulb back there...how difficult was it to cut the LED strip to use? Might be a good mod for my Camaro, since the bulbs seem to have the half life of a Mayfly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT2B GM Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 I had to drill a hole in the side of the third brake light housing to get the LED strip in there, then sealed it back up with silicone. Otherwise its actually plug and play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT2B GM Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 I just used side cutters to cut it, there's a spot in the circuit where you can cut it and all the remaining LEDs will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabsOlds Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 I'm gonna have to try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
