brianstarr58 Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 I just purchased three 3rd brake light bulbs for my 95 vert off of ebay. They were 4.99 each. It was the 891 bulb. Here's the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/160858176376?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Quote
Nas Escobar Posted October 14, 2016 Report Posted October 14, 2016 You can get them from home depot for the same price as well. They're T4 bulbs. Quote
GabsOlds Posted October 15, 2016 Report Posted October 15, 2016 Did not know this. Just got them last week for $9 a piece at O'Reilly's. 3 of them...... Ouch! Quote
cdn_olds_94 Posted October 29, 2016 Report Posted October 29, 2016 Did not know this. Just got them last week for $9 a piece at O'Reilly's. 3 of them...... Ouch! Same price at Canadian Tire. Yeah, Ouch. Quote
Imp558 Posted October 29, 2016 Report Posted October 29, 2016 Do those just solder in? It would be cheaper to convert it to high brightness LEDs with a 1k resistor to limit the current. Quote
sgjii Posted April 5, 2017 Report Posted April 5, 2017 I know the thread is a few months old... I was just choking on $10/bulb x 3 for the third brake light. I purchased 3 NOS GE 891 bulbs ($5/ea) and then one of them clouded up instantly and and is dimmer than the other two... Now I am re-considering my options. The 891 bulb spec is G4 Base 8W / 138Lumens. And these little boogers get HOT! Anybody tried the Philips 10W Equivalent Bright White (3000K) T3 Landscape Capsule LED Light Bulb with 105 Lumens from Home Depot for $5.97/ea? Or the 20W version with 195 Lumens, same price? Or Albrillo G4 LED Bulb Dimmable 1.5W, 20 Watt Halogen Bulbs Equivalent, AC DC 12V, Warm White, 4 Pack from Amazon for $15? These were reviewed as being small and fitting tight/original spaces better than most LED versions. Quote
GabsOlds Posted April 7, 2017 Report Posted April 7, 2017 I'm curious to know how those turn out. Quote
GOT2B GM Posted April 7, 2017 Report Posted April 7, 2017 I put a cut down LED strip in mine from a venture / montana van. rich_e777, Imp558 and Galaxie500XL 3 Quote
Galaxie500XL Posted April 7, 2017 Report Posted April 7, 2017 My IROC uses a weird bulb back there...how difficult was it to cut the LED strip to use? Might be a good mod for my Camaro, since the bulbs seem to have the half life of a Mayfly. Quote
GOT2B GM Posted April 8, 2017 Report Posted April 8, 2017 I had to drill a hole in the side of the third brake light housing to get the LED strip in there, then sealed it back up with silicone. Otherwise its actually plug and play. Quote
GOT2B GM Posted April 8, 2017 Report Posted April 8, 2017 I just used side cutters to cut it, there's a spot in the circuit where you can cut it and all the remaining LEDs will work. Quote
