3rd brake light , question=--

[jamesmetairie]

The light malfunctions often . The small , light gray color, electrical part that the blub snaps into question=---- Is that part sold aftermarket ? Toyota only sells the whole assembly..
I wiggle the bulb and then it,s ok. Perhaps there,s some way to make the bulb sit firmly in it.

For my 2007, it would be this part: https://www.toyotapartsdeal.com/oem/toy ... 60037.html

For other years, check at this site: https://www.japan-parts.eu/toyota/us/

I know the part says "License plate lamp," but here's the catalog page: https://www.japan-parts.eu/toyota/us/20 ... -stop-lamp

If you can wait till the fall/winter, I'll have my original OEM assembly, off of my 2004 Vibe GT, available to anyone who would want it. I'll be getting back on the LED special "high mount brake light" project, very similar to what I did to my 2009 Vibe Gt some 14 years ago.
