Product Overview
Failed LED segments, a cracked lens, water intrusion, or a rear brake-light warning can bring a Malibu owner here after confirming the lower brake lamps still work. The high-mounted lamp is easy to overlook until inspection time or another driver points it out.
The assembly restores the center brake-light position above the rear deck or glass area on the matching Malibu. It does not correct a blown fuse, damaged connector, body-control fault, or water leak outside the lamp seal.
Match 42795725, lens shape, connector, mounting studs, trim access, and the original label. Inspect the harness and surrounding sealing surface before deciding the lamp alone caused the failure.
This listing is for the center high-mount LED stop lamp using the matching 42795725-style housing. Compare the connector, mounting points, and original lamp label before ordering.

Compatibility Notice
Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application that is not shown above.

Match the original part, reference number, connectors, mounting points, dimensions, and product photos before purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can one failed LED mean the assembly needs replacement? A: Yes, because the LED board is commonly serviced as a complete lamp after power and ground are verified.
Q: Will this fix every brake-light warning? A: No. Wiring, connector, fuse, switch, or control faults can create similar symptoms.
Q: What number should I compare first? A: Start with 42795725 on the removed lamp or parts record.
Q: Is this an original-equipment part? A: No. This is a new aftermarket product. Brand names and part numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
