Hey guys/gals,
I went scrounging in the local u pull it thinking I would pull a bunch of third brake lights as Kirban said he pays money for them. Well, after two hours of walking and pulling a cart with my tool box on it I came away with two brake lights that looked good. Must have seen 500 cars. Tonight I thought before I sell them to Mr. Kirban I best make sure my brake light is in working order. Well, it wasn't! The bulb was good but the socket basically imploded as can be seen in the last picture. Something else I learned....not all G body third brake lights are the same. The correct one is on the left with the busted socket. The difference is in the mounting base. The correct one is angled as can be seen in the pic. The mounting bases are interchangeable so if you grab the wrong one from the junk yard you can use your base. But it appears g-bodys are getting harder to find.
