Third brake light - clear
I have a few LEDs out on my M clear breaklight so need a replacement.
Any of the breaker chaps have a good condition one?

Good luck

eBay for £20, sorted. Looks and works as good as OEM.

Aren’t the eBay ones different as in that they don’t sit flush?

I called and it is nowhere in the BMW network, so no chance of that coming.
I am still loooking, just don't really want to go down the aftermarket route as they don't fit properly

I’ve not had any problems with eBay ones. There’s probably good ones and bad ones out there. They are very cheap - £20-odd to find out whether it fits or not (if not, send it back), or wait ages and spend £££ on a BMW one.
Currently Zedless, on the lookout

Do you have a link to one of the eBay sellers that you have good experience with? Sending it back is to China though

£88 for something thats on back order or get one on eBay for £20....... Buy from a uk seller and you can send it back if it doesn't fit.
That's 3 times I've said it now, is anyone listening yet!

Yep, I will have to try one. Just reading the reviews and it mentioning that it doesn’t fit is a bit worrying of course
