I've seen the gold Pontiac emblem but I guess they are hard to come by.

Here'* another ebay item http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=38661

I bet if you wrote the guy he could put that on a bigger piece of vinyl that you older guys, could cut it out to the size of your third breaklight if he dosen't have the shape already. should be pretty easy to cut out.

Nevermind wasnt really thinking when I replied. For some reason I thought it was an aftermarket light that you can install.

I just found out my 3rd light is out (no warning on the dash tho, hmmmm) While I'm in there, I'll look into making my own stencil....

Okay, just looked at it. How the heck do you replace that bulb? Pull the seat?

most of those lights are changed from the trunk MOS

did you guys notice the first post side "light up the BONNEVILLE on the back".... only you 96+ers have the luxury of the pontiac in the deck lid... i wonder if he wanted to know how to light up the bumper wording....

Prob'ly. Would be basically the same process, though. It would involve removing some styrofoam, adding some wiring and some extra waterproofing, but it shouild still work.

Yep. Like Dame pointed out though, earlier models don't have the PONTIAC on the trunk lid, but do have BONNEVILLE on the rear bumper. With the appropriate added wire and waterproofing, this could be lit up in a similar fashion. I think it'd be really cool, actually...
