What’s that part called?? (3rd brake light housing)

Hey y’all, first post so pardon any ignorance.

I just bought my mom’s old ‘08 Fit Sport, and I'm trying to fix it back up to proper working condition.

So far the only snag I’ve come across is that the plastic housing for the 3rd brake light has broken and is barely hanging on, and I can’t find a replacement anywhere (she backed into a mailbox, which went straight through the window and snapped it off of the two bolts which were keeping it in place.)

I can’t for the life of me find this part anywhere, and I have to assume it’s because I don’t know the official part name.

it’s the plastic cover that houses the third brake light, which is bolted onto interior top of the 5th door.

Can anybody help me identify the proper term I should be searching for?

I’ll try to take a photo next chance I get. Thanks in advance for any help!

For clarification's sake this is a Fit sold in the states? Because if it is that's a first gen Fit. The second gen Fit was sold in '08, just not in the states.

Anyway, assuming it's a first gen I found a couple housings on eBay. Here's one

I have a 2010 Fit Sport. The Honda parts diagram lists it as "Light Assy. High Mount Stop". About $100 OEM.

ah, I was confused why 08 was listed in both categories — thanks for the clarification ( sold in the states, so apparently first gen) , and thanks so much for the link!!

So relieved to finally get this last part ordered!!

Thanks again for all your help!

“high mount stop light” did the trick — thank you so much!!!!!! Don’t think I’ve ever owned a car with a 3rd brake light so I was completely lost in the dark regarding the lexicon..

Thanks again for your help!
