3rd Brake light replacement..

[Jahblah90]

Hello all, I've used this site a lot to bring my 93' RCLB back from the grave. But I figured it's about time I joined the fight.

I am needing to replace the 3rd brake light on my 93' and searching online for a replacement bulb hasn't gone so well. So I took pictures to compare bulbs but no luck. Am I supposed to replace the bulb or the entire light fixture. I ask about the entire fixture because I was googling and found the 3rd picture with the inner fixture removed. I'm just pretty lost right now..

Anyone know WHAT actually needs to be replaced?

For your 1993, that's the optional cargo light and would just have the one bulb operated by the switch on your dash. It isn't a brake light...the 3rd brake lights shown in your bottom picture were not required until 1994.

From a 1993 owner's manual, it used a #570 bulb. It looks like you're just missing the lens that screws on. A new gasket probably wouldn't hurt, either. Here's a video someone did that shows it.

It looks like LMC sells replacement parts for it:

In case you just wanted to replace the whole thing, I edited my post after you responded...

I'll try the bulb first but may replace the whole thing anyway because its showing its age pretty good.
