Tips on third brake light install 850 1995

I tried to stop my car from rolling today by grabbing the spoiler (I was standing near the rear when it began rolling away from me). The spoiler came off in my hand, and after running after the car, jumping in to grab the e-brake, I stopped it and began pondering my situation (spoiler hanging off the side of the car by the wiring). Regulars may recall I inquired about removing the spoiler a year ago. Turns out the light wiring goes around the edge and not through the lid. So, happy day, the spoiler is off (without damage!).

I have done some research, and it seems the absence of the third light will prevent passing state inspection. Anyone know how hard it is to add an OEM third light housing to the rear deck? The wiring I am not concerned about - I am wondering how it mounts. Thank you for any info. Don

ps Please stop laughing now. I have owned manual shift cars all my life and I can't get used to making sure I am in park when I shut it off to do something quickly and get back in. It ends up in R a lot. I better get over this...
