Little late on this... The export lamps for Japan and Europe have the extra pin in the center. The center pin is technically pin B in the service manual... The US spec lamps do not have the center pin. ledfix.com

It's official...they are from China...see pic. The original ones were stamped 'Made in USA' on the back of the plastic housing.

You may want to try to return that third brake light Monday. 'New' GM ones are currently being listed online for $118 plus shipping. I suspect GM sent the tooling to China for manufacturing there. It's happened before.. Why they are giving them away? Don't know. Maybe like Sears....dirt...

Based on the above post...just checked with a online dealer today (01/21/2015) who had it listed and showed the lamp as being available. Did get a very fast reply by email....."Well its not discontinued yet. As of now its on a national backorder through GM with no release date." Other GM...

It's kinda like....I kissed her in 2003....I married her in 2006... Bosch Diagnostics As for the Tech2. If you know you are buying a clone, that's one thing. The problem is a vast majority of the fake ones are being sold as the real deal. I think people would want to know before dropping a...

Bosch bought out the Vetronix stuff back in 2006...so it's kinda hard to find a 'new' Vetronix Tech 2. The original ones can still be serviced by Bosch. As for the China ones. Buy direct from them and save even more than eBay... 2014 New Release GM Tech 2 Scan Tool Professional Diagnostic...

It can be confusing....FYI....there are real ones and then there are fake ones all over eBay. There are different real ones...GM logo, Saturn logo, Saab logo...plus MACtool, and OTC logos. There are real ones made by Vetronix, Hewlett Packard, and Bosch. Any GM after 2003 will require a...

Tall order... The lens was never available by itself....and the lamp has been discontinued by GM. Common problem is to have some LEDs die. If some have died...more are coming. The lamps can be repaired with all new LEDs on the original OEM circuit boards. One year warranty. It does require...

The 'Candi' module is a inline add on module for 2003 and newer GM vehicles using a CAN network. Without the Candi module you are dead in the water. A real Candi module is about $600. Lots of fake Tech2s and Candi modules on eBay. I would suggest most are Chinese fakes.

We are likely the eBay repair service mentioned. We sometimes will post a auction there. We do have a web site for third brake lights. See Cadillac LED Replacement 3rd Brake Light, High Mounted Stop Lights, Third Brakelights For Escalade, Escalade EXT, LTZ, ESV, XLR, Seville, SLS, STS...

The CTS third lamps are a neon rather then a LED lamp. They all go bad. The redesigned '09 CTS third lamp went back to a LED setup. It's not a silicone...it's a thermoplastic that holds the CTS lamps together. The XLR lamps use a different material. Anyway, not to brag and not to spam...but...
