Hi

Does anyone know how to change the bulb in the centre brake light in the spoiler.

Thanks

No bulbs can be changed in the light unit itself bud. You have to buy a new unit, it's £54 from the stealer. Mine went 3 weeks ago and I couldn't find one anywhere but the dealer.

Simple to replace though. Take off the spolier and then it's two screws inside and it pops out.

Just a question, last night I closed the boot, and started to drive away and I noticed something in the rear view mirror. Stopped and found that the rear brake light was hanging down!!!!!

It is cracked along the entire length of the underside and the right hand side has come away. I managed to push it back in although it is certainly not flush and will fall out again.

Would this be covered under warranty? I would not expect this damage under normal wear and tear of closing a boot? Mine is 1 year 9 months old and 20k miles.
