[W126 Coupe] third break light

[Michał Wołosiak]

Hi guys,
I got some less-typical issue.
As my 560SEC is Euro version, it wasn't orginally equipped with third break light, which could be found on US cars. I'm going to install that lamp by myself, but definitely it has to be the original MB part from an American SEC (not some aftermarket LED bar, etc.). :-)

I crawled through many, many pics of US SEC's but I found only a few with a CHMSL visible.
What I know at the moment is, that the lamp itself is a thing like this:

and looks to be mounted a few centimeters above the rear hat tray.

What else do I need to install the lamp? Was it somehow glued to the rear window glass? If so, was there any rubber seal? Or maybe some mounting bracket supporting the lamp from bottom?

Any help will be appreciated. It would be absolutely great if some of you could take a few photos of the lamp on their US car, with details of mounting visible.

Best regards from Poland,
Michal Wolosiak
