Replace drivers side rear brake light

[Smallsy99]

Hi there, my driver side rear brake light is on the blink literally…
I know it’s a common issue and I need to get it sorted. Are there any folk in the south west area that can do this for me? Sourcing and replacing the light

Have replaced a rear light unit recently and can confirm that it really isn’t too difficult for a diyer. One of the more troublesome points for me was nothing more than removing the clip that is set back in a dip on the side of the trim.

Yeah I have seen some videos that make it seem not bad. I have some trim removal tools coming. Just need to find a light now. Nothing less than £250 from what I can see…

£200 ish is what they cost - you are lucky there are available at the moment.

It's been a real issue getting hold of these for the last 18 months!
