        If you cut close enough to the edges, you are able to keep the 2 little tabs on the very end. It's an extremely tight fit, but it fits very snuggly in there and you still get to keep all of the clips. Worked like a charm.

          I know this thread is old, but I didn't want to make a new post when I could make one here. I cannot even find that anywhere anymore. ModifyStreet used to make stuff like this, but they're no longer in business. What can come close to this? A flexible LED Strip?

            A DRL tube could be just right. I would use one.

              But I think the problem would lie in how long it is versus how long it should be. That lampoon lamp is 11.5". I'm not sure if I can find something that's somewhat similar to that.

                Update: Used a pencil eraser to get rid of the oxidation on the aluminum leads of the harness, dipped it in motor oil, soldered the leads onto the harness, and voila. LED 3rd Brake Light engaged!

                  I took a different approach

                  Prolly some 3M double sided tape to hold it in place

                    Looks great and all! I really like the led bulb look better than a solid light really.
