I need the part number for the bulbs of the 3rd spoiler mounted brake light in a 87 camaro. Has anyone replaced these bulbs? If so, where did you purchase the replacement and what part #? No one around town has a acceptable replacement. I would also consider purchasing a working assembly if someone is parting out a car.

 

Go to Radioshack with a sample bulb and ask for a 20amp two prong halogen (don't ask for a tail light bulb ) they cost about $1.99 ea + tax. Do a search for the part number if you think you need it. The GM dealers want $14.00 a piece for these, so don't go there or buy a new aasembly.

 

Radio shack didnt have them.

 

More then one Radioshack Store,,, P/N 272-1177 or just spend big bucks for them. Or order them on-line from Radioshack's web site.

 

That looks exactly like the bulb NAPA sold me, and they dont work. You have replaced your bulbs with these, and they do work?

 

Yea I need to replace mine too but I don't wanna pay $4,000 to replace the whole set.

 

WHAT!?

 

I got mine at Wallymart in the light bulb section,they are just GE Halogen 20w AC bulbs and were about a buck something for two. They've been in there for about three years now.

 

alright I will check Walmart... oh and the $4,000 was exaggeration...if you didn't get it....

 

LOL! No you were pretty close.

 

Well the Radio Shack bulbs dont work. It looks like I've got connection issue. No junk yard seems to have the assembly, so I'm probably just going to buy a LED setup somewhere and use it as a 3rd light to pass inspection and then remove it.

 

The Radioshack bulbs do work. I would suggest that you disconnect the assembly and try cleaning the base of corrosion and also check the plug wiring for a loose connection. And are you sure about that NAPA bulb, never heard that they carried that type?? Remenber you need a 12V 20amp halogen type.

 

The napa bulb was a 12v, 10 amp. Looked exacly alike.

 

So you didn;t try the radioshack bulb? What you need is the Halogen 12V 20watt one, like i said. Never heard anywhere that NAPA had the correct one over the years I been posting about radioshack. Another question, are all five bulbs not working??
Rare for all five to be out at the same time, but it could happen.
Try one CORRECT bulb in the all (5) sockets to see if the base is working.
