Default Help me remember - 3rd brake light that replaces entire housing?

Back in the day there was a company that made a replacement 3rd brake light that replaced the entire black part with a red lens LED 3rd brake light.

Does anyone remember who made it?

Vette Lights has them. Also the oem one is sealed so it is sacrificial.

I can’t find one that replaces the whole CHMSL black part. I found the old company called brite ideas but they’re not around.

Sorry I did not understand. You are looking for the small spoiler that the brake light fits into right?

There used to be a company that replaced the whole thing with a brake light. Looked awesome.

Yes, the Company was Brite Ideas. I purchased one in December of 2007 and still have it / like it.

I have an address of 1880 Hartland Ct., Bowling Green, KY 42103. Phone 270-535-5623.

They also went under Vette Pitstop (www.vettepitstop.com)

A GREAT item! Hard to believe that they are no longer available?

GOOD LUCK!

I hope this what your asking:
I bought from vette lights very happy with there 3rd brake light. You can set it up to blink 3 times when hitting the brakes to get attention of the person behind you.
Easy installation.

That's it.... can't find them anywhere. Appear they no longer exist and nobody is making the product anymore.

Is it the , now defunct, "39 LED" High Mount Third Brake Light? Search for that.

My rear bumper was too far distorted from a decade of an aftermarket ZR1 spoiler to accept the OEM CHMSL... ended up having to reinstall the ZR1 spoiler. Oh well.
