99 suburban cyclops break light

During inspection we found that our cyclops break light did not work. Expecting to see a light bulb, we instead found a strip of minibulbs. Does anyone have a clue as to where to purchase this? The dealer wants an arm and a leg for it. Here is the part number:
15030176 389G lamp list price 139.78

Any help would be appriciated.

Never heard of a 3rd brake light refered to as a "cyclops" break (broken) light before.

Those minibulbs are LED (light emiting Doides) lights. You don't replace LED's like a conventional bulb. They are soldered too a cicuit board and can be desoldered and replaced if a person is electronically familier.

Aftermarket suppliers may carry a replacement but the quality of componant may not be as good as factory. Ebay is always an alternative if a person is frugal.
