Default LED 3rd brake light

Who makes the miata LED center brake light? Not looking for DIY, looking for PNP. Thanks

Made by IL Motorsports. Only 3 left, then no more since he's going out of business. I have this on mine, very very nice.

I'm going to smoke it so it's invisible when off against the black trunklid--but that one does look kind of ricey. The one on droptopdrifter's car looks really good.

I don't know. It looks better than what was pictured. His is not smoked. I didn't even realize he had an aftermarket brake light until he hit the brakes, and then the leds in the center light came on so much quicker than the incandescents in the low mount lights, I decided I needed one too.

Judging by the pictures I've seen of his car so far, I think his is the M2 version, but just gets shaded because of the spoiler. Then again, they could have done something different with that version instead of the chrome.
It's actually not too bad/noticeable with it mounted on the car, but too "euro tail light-ish" for my tastes, so it's getting a light treatment of VHT Nightshades whenever I get to it. Just to clarify, when I said it's very very nice, I did mean in function. I watch this thing light up the every reflective part on the car behind me at night.

can't you just crawl under the dash and screw in the tail light switch so that it will engage the lights with minimal pedal movement? I'm not sure about the miata but on the 240 if i barely set my feet on the pedal it lights them up
