    Wtb convertible third brake light

    I am in need of a third brake light for a convertible. I dont care about the cover but I need one that the lens is not cracked. The bottom mounting portion can have some cracks but still needs to be able to bolt down securely and function correctly

    I have this as I am currently parting a vert. Pm me if you still need!
    The difference between porcupines and BMWs is that porcupines have the pricks on the outside!

          If I remember it right verts after 6/88 had lower profile. Thats why I asked for the model. Good luck

              I simultaneously owned an 88 and my project 92. They're very different, can verify. I'm 100% sure.

                I have one but its untested, Its just a spare I bought a while back. I could do $50 shipped. Its from the later model's, 88'-93'. 1987 I believe was the only year with the smaller light.

                  For that kind of money I would want to know for sure it works and would have to consider it. I know one will eventually pop up in the local you pull it yards around.

                    I have one known working but it's cracked.

                    Also:

                    Diving board verts will have the early style light. The one you need MUST come from a plastic bumper car.

                      yea I have a cracked one as well so that wont help. Finding a plastic bumper light seems to be the problem

                              Here are some pictures of it (Click on Pic's for HD), I bought it as a spare in case the on one on my car ever went bad, but like I said I haven't ever tested it, as all my prior convertibles had working 3rd brake lights.
