Subject:Re: 3rd (center) Brake light Van('93-'99 Jetta 3rdBL)

For the Westfalia I found a third brake light
from a '93-'99 Jetta works perfectly.

It is a long light bar , incandescent , not LED,
and it lays flat in the rear overhead tray.

 I put a stip of no-skid under it and a thin
piece of foam to raise it up slightly.

Anyone wanting to see pictures of this e-mail me.
