2008 Third brake light assembly - any good replacements?

[BluDodge]

The third brake light on my 2008 1500 Quad Cab is pretty beat by the sun. I'm looking for a replacement for it, would like to use my existing LED bulbs if possible. OEM style for this year seems almost impossible to find. The reason I would like to use my existing bulbs is because they are the flash before going to solid type, and given how many people seem to pay attention to anything BUT their driving, I like that it gives me a better chance of not being hit. Thanks

I picked up a real nice LED one with smoked lens on ebay for $28. They seemed pretty common at the time but I haven't looked in a while.

Edit: Just did a quick search and there appears to be lots available. Use the following search term--"2002-2008 Dodge Ram Pickup Trucks OEM Rear Cab 3rd Third Brake Light Stop Lamp"

Thanks, I did see some of those. My main concern with getting a used light is that I suspect it will break around the back of the screw hole like mine did. I may end up with that as a last resort, maybe try to find some way to reinforce it. I was just hoping someone made a similar replacement. Dorman does make one, but for the Gen4.

There were lots of new ones on ebay. I have my old stock one, but not sure you would want it.

I'll take another look. Maybe I'm missing something.

My bad. I took another look and you're right. All the new ones are LED. All the OEM are used. Sorry about that.
