Re: A question about LED bulbs.
You should get LED bulbs which have all the LEDs facing the lens.

Re: A question about LED bulbs.
You can find the CHMSL LEDs on Ebay but IMHO they are not worth the effort. I have them as well as the LED brake lights like Goldcylon's; the brake lights are all you need.

Re: A question about LED bulbs.
Look at Goldcylon's pics. That is all you need. The CHMSL LEDs are not much brighter than stock.

Custom 3rd brake light.
  I shortened and rewired a 3rd brake light from a Uplander. I used the clear lens and LED board from the Uplander but used the OEM red lens.

I could mod one for you if you want. only thing is modding the OEM wiring, as the OEM Light PCB and reflector are removed. I added the connector mate to the vette harness to connect in the light. the uplander light is 12 LEDs, I shorten it to 9, but the OEM light was 3 gangs of 4 LEDs, I made it 3 gangs of 3..
