Default 3rd brake light

I was replacing the bulbs on mine today and noticed the plastic was in pretty bad shape. Not cracked or broken, but pretty dull and hazy from age. Anyone know any sources for an OEM replacement other than the dealer? LMC has some LED replacements, but while that's fine for the brake light part, LEDs suck for the cargo light part. I want a stocker. I would go the junkyard route, but how likely am I to find one in better shape?

If the light is still OK, why don't you try one of these headlight restoration kits. That way you can clean it up and reuse it. I'm sure there are a lot of youtube videos showing how to clean up headlights. When you clean it up, put a clear on it to prevent that from happening again.

I like the LEDs for the brake light, but still uses the stock bulbs for the cargo light. Thanks for the link.
