1989 Camaro Spoiler Brake Lights - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Illuminaire · 09-02-2004, 08:43 PM

My fiancee's got a '89 Camaro. About half of the lights in the spoiler are burnt out. She's looked around and the replacement bulbs run around $11 each. Does anyone know a cheap place to order these bulbs or another low cost alternative for them?

Thanks!

How many bulbs does it take? and do you know a part no. for them?

I almost wouldn't be surprised if GM used a proprietary bulb in there, but at the same time, it wouldn't surprise me if it's not just a simple 194 bulb. Them are a dime a dozen damn near.

$11 sounds a little pricey for the spoiler brake light bulbs. The ones in my camaro spoiler I can't remember costing over $5 at a local Auto Zone. Can you supply a picture of the bulb?

The bulb for the HMSL (aka third brake light) is Radio Shack Cat. No. 272-1177. Descr: Halogen Lamps 12-Volt, 20-Watt. G-4 base, rated 350 lumens. Average life: 2000 hours. Excellent for automotive application.

There you go, straight from the message board at thirdgen.org.
