I bought two from Northern Arizona Wind & Sun which arrived a few days ago.
I plan on installing them this week.

I also ordered from J.C. Whitney and installed today my third brake light
with an LED 3rd brake light catalogue # 12zx4336p at a cost of $11.99 plus
$8.75 shipping [$20.74]. Works like a charm. The hardest part was  snaking a
wire down the left side of the van to the left tail light area to splice it
in to the brake light. A friend suggested installing amber LEDs for the left
and right turn signal up top also, but I think not at this time. Maybe
later.
