3rd brake light
 

Hi guys, my 3rd brake light recently went out on the 2000, I suspected a bulb but when I went to NAPA they told me I have to get an entire unit from GM, is this true? if so anybody know of any repop aftermarket? Thanks, Jim

The center stop light has LED's. If you are good with a solder iron, you may be able to replace them. You can get LED's at Radio Shack, etc.

https://www.1stpontiacparts.com/partscat.html list's the part for $63.

Thanks Kevin, led's hmmm I better check to see if it's getting juice first.

Otherwise there was someone parting out a 2000+ in the for sale area. I think the front was smashed up, but the back end is OK.

Yah i would suggest getting a new one or a working used one, it is impossible to pull the assembly apart without breaking it to pieces, I tried it

..and if anyone would know about this, you would! :D Thanks for chiming in on it. I just went out and looked at mine...it gave me shivers.

No problem, yah I got a spare one from a junk yard to see if I could do something fun like make the LEDs pulse, but it is all plastic welded together into one solid piece adn doesn't come apart wiout breaking (haha I found that funny, sorry I'm a little crazy in the morining) a ton of it
