LED 3rd Brake Light
Who was the guy selling the kit to convert the third brake light to LED's? Did a quick search but came up with nothing.

You don't really need a kit - just buy the 12V T5 Red LED's and solder them in, in place of the bulbs. Make sure they are the right way round, and you are done. These LED's are available on ebay and a ton of other places, you'll get them all for less than $10.

Can LEDs and Bulbs be mixed? not that I would.
and finally, does anyone know off hand how many bulbs/LEDs are needed for a 96 CHML?
thinking this is a great project for the weekend.

I think I needed 21 LEDs in total, off the top of my head. The whole job took less than 2 hours, from removing the light bar to having it back on and tested. A very pleasing, quick and easy DIY that went smoothly.

I bought a kit from him but switched to the red LED's.
Just yesterday I replaced my Center console light with LED's as well
You'll require 24 LED's

Interested in this as well. I like the plug & play aspect (or solder & play) w/ the eBay bulbs. My 3rd brake light never worked since I've owned the car so I'll be doing the pcar workshop fix soon anyway. Lots of soldering ahead.....
