Default 3rd brake light

It came loose off its glue so now i have it pinned up there.

Does anyone have any tips for re-attaching it? I tried some glue, but it only sticks for a week or two and comes off again. Dealer wants $400 to fix it.

Go to your local auto parts store or Walmart and buy some adhesive for rearview mirrors; follow instructions, make sure you clean the old adhesive/glue and leave the brackets to cure for at least 12 hrs. before re-attaching the brake light. Cost: $5.00

Have a suggestion for a particular brand/model of LED brake light, how to mount it and in what housing?
