Tail light (Fixed)
« on: July 15, 2010, 09:38:14 AM »
My high mount brake light stopped working, thought this was an LED so it shouldn't burn out. Any suggestions?  :idk: I don't even know how to get to it to check the connection, I'm assuming I have to pull the rear trimwork in the back storage compartment.

to get to it, take your licence plate light off.  But all you will have access to is the connector.    There isn't a bulb.

Center high mount brake light was unplugged. Must have been that way for a while, the plug was quite dirty. Man what a pain in the arse to get it plugged back in!  :banghead:  :gaah: you have to remove the tag light & that little hole is all you get to get your hand/fingers in there to do it. Turned out for the better though, found out my tag light was burned out, not that I really care about that but inspection is comming up. I just so happened to have some of those bulbs in stock, all is good now.

That car isn't even a year old, light probably has never worked.
