LED 3rd brake light
Has anyone seen this LED 3rd brake light for Series II available anywhere? This is from one of the JDM thread but the pics are gone now so I attached them to this thread.

No offense taken, foo the price, you could buy a few of them to keep as backup They are a 1/3rd of what they cost a couple of years ago and the quality is actually pretty good. Just make sure you use the rubber gasket from the OEM light. The gasket that comes with it is new and very stiff, it makes getting it to fit perfectly difficult.
I will try and get some close up high res pics later today.

Thanks Aipex8 and everyone else, I ordered one from eBay, swapped housings, and installed it today. If anyone else is going to swap housings, you need a couple small washers since the OEM screws are too long for the eBay light or else you may bottom out the screws and crack it.

Well, my experience is different.
My car is also a 2004 and I have LED tail light bulbs. However as soon as I swapped the third brake light to use a LED bulb, I got the ABS light illuminated and the error code showed a problem with the ABS system. It went away when I swapped back the incandescent bulb.

Living is best Modified.
The Aftermarket rubber gasket is harder in the smoke (aftermarket), and won't allow you to put the light deeper out to make it flush at the back:

I didn't care for the "chrome", So I painted it black, with gloss overcoat:
