Get the light and wire it directly to the brake light switch on the brake pedal. The factory 3rd light models have a different BFWS relay to accomodate the different load. If you hook it to the switch you by-pass the BFWS relay.

Oughta work. I am doing the same thing with my 1984 245GL. Had to get new door harnesses anyway, so I got the 1986 type. Not done yet, though.

Good Luck,

Bob
