LED third brake light?

[J-MAN]

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement LED third brake light for my 94. I've tried the dealer and they're discontinued! :cuss:

As I understand it, you can't replace them. You have to buy a new wing.

There have been a lot of threads on this, just search and I'm sure you'll find your answer.

i have a 94 wing on my car and was comparing the led strip to one in an SHO taurus and they are the same so that may help you find one alittle easier, still going to be hard though. btw it was in the 94 body style taurus sho, not sure of the year range.

 

[J-MAN]

Thanks, I know where one is at now. Not sure of year though.

they don't list one for a 94-95 cobra. They are different than any others.

o btw the led is in the wing also, not sure if that was clear or not.

Oh I wasnt aware they were different, sorry that didnt help.

Jeremy, if you ever find one that fits right, don't forget all of us other '94 / '95 owners that have burned-out LEDs.

I've spent hours on the phone & the Internet, with "zero" results. You can buy a new wing, but just for an LED or two ... I'll disconnect it first.

Any luck taking it apart and replacing with some Radio Shack LED's?

i dont think its worth the trouble you all go through. unplug it and forget it. you cant see it when its supposed to work anyway. out of sight out of mind.

The light unit is one of those plastic melted/sealed joint type affairs. You may get it apart with heat & a cutting tool, but if it breaks, you're screwed!

I didn't think it was worth the risk, so I just put it back in. Those SOBs at Ford shouldn't have taken it out of stock, but what do I know - they have all the money.

why dont they just use regular light bulbs instead of the stupid non replaceable led's. i guess they want you to have to spend huundreds of dollars on a new unit instead of $2 on a new bulb.

It was probably the same dick that used all those melted plastic studs in the console, and elsewhere oke: . He should have his butt kicked ... :nonono:

We can't leave it off...brake light out...just another reason to get pulled over! We don't need any MORE reasons!

i see people around here all the time with no brake lights. i dont understand why you need three brake lights anyway, if someone cant see the two big ones on the outside the small middle one isnt going to help them any.
