Camaro SS brake light

**jonj601** · 06-04-2009, 03:54 PM

some bulbs on the third brake light are out (the one on the spoiler), so I went to change them. Do you have to replace the whole light fixture, or how do you get to the lights individually?

You have to change the entire lightbar. I can get you the model # if you like.

that would be cool, do you have to go through SLP?

It was a few years ago when i had to replace my brakelight, but this was the part num i used......12369969

right on man thanks I found it. Did you change it yourself, or go to a shop? Looks like some wiring involved?

**Firebirdjones** · 06-05-2009, 02:02 PM

Ya there is wiring involved,,,,the stinking replacement lights don't have the connector on the end

Most people will slice and dice. I didn't want to do that so I went to GM and got the factory wire terminals and factory connector. At the time they were available for a few pennies. Made a nice clean install as the factory intended. I would assume the GM dealers would still have this stuff??

The guys are right about everything (part #) etc. When I bought mine, it was $100 for the part. GM part # 12369969

I did it myself, i had to feed the wire through the spoiler w a coat hanger to get the proper connection. It was a little bit of a pain in the ass but i've had no problems at all. No wire splicing involved at all.

2 lights in my 3rd brake light went out last week. What did it cost you and can you do a write up on it, please? I gotta do mine soon now too....

I thought the big deal about LED lights were that they would last forever and the initial high cost would be off set by that fact.Just so much hype & fluff I guess.

Ya they aren't all they are cracked up to be in my opinion. I could do without to be honest. Plain ole' light bulbs are just fine in my book.

Yeah the 2 on the far left are out, and the replacement was $195.00 online. Damn i'll have to wait.

WOW!!! The price of that went way up since I bought one...I paid $70 about a year ago. That is a huge hike in a short time.

**jonj601** · 06-10-2009, 08:10 PM

that was at GM partsonline, usually things are a little cheaper there. I'm gonna keep looking.

**Firebirdjones** · 06-10-2009, 08:41 PM

If I could remember where I bought it I'd tell ya

But it came in an SLP package and the lens had SLP stamped in it with a GM part number. So it's not a knockoff. But that price difference would surely make ya think it is,,,,ouch!!!
