Hi fellow Stangheads.I am updating/modifying my 1989 GT hatchback with original spoiler.I have ordered 2 thus far and the idiots at these vendors assured me that they would fit...they didn't, not even close.They were short by almost 2 inches to fit in the cavity where the original light was/is.I am looking for a smoked L.E.D. 3rd brake light.Does anyone know where I can get one?CA Auto parts,DNA,LMR, have it but for 1989 GT convertible,LX convertible.LX hardtop etc.There has to be a source in this big great country of ours!Thank you for any help!

The smoked ones were Chinee and may not be available anymore because well: 30+ year old car.

All is not lost however. Go to your favorite PepBoyz and get some tinted window film that matches what you're trying to match.

Apply and be happy

Yeah, I have an 86 and an 89. It's odd sometimes what the aftermarket continues to make and doesn't. In your case, it's the car with the highest number produced that you're having a hard time with.

Post up images of what you've got so far. Someone in here might have the hot tip.

Put an ebay LED in it and get some window tint. Cheap and you can as dark as you want.
