I'd check a junkyard first, just buy the 3rd brake light housing out of a Lancer ES or Evo that has the housing. To install on your stock rear deck, you'll need to cut three holes. If you get the light bulb and harness, there's a spot in the RA trunk to just plug it right in (if you look, I'm sure you'll see it).

If it's illegal why would they put it stock on mirages? I doubt it

its illegal because you need three brake lights. By replacing the old spoiler with an evo one, you are in essence deleting a brake light. If you put an evo spoiler on a car that had no spoiler to begin with theres no problem because it'll already have a third brake light on the rear deck
