Brake light in spoiler

[Rob1977]

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 dealer. 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.

That's what I said to the dealer. And at £54 it's a bit steep

I am now well happy that mine got replaced under warranty.
£54 isn't steep, it's a bloody ravine.

Sorry yours has gone fella.

I always wondered how you did that. Does noone like GSF or Eurocarparts not do them a bit cheaper?

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.
