Third Brake Light

6 posts in this topic

I had 2 bulbs in my third brake light burn out. When replaced they still did not work. I am told that it looks like there may have been some water leakage and corrosion of the terminals (I could see it myself, so I believe it).However, apparently, you cannot just replace the brake light, you have to replace the whole 'spoiler' that the third brake light is a part of. Cost is $190 (parts only). Even the MB dealership was surprised that you could not just buy the replacement light kit. You can buy the light lens, bulbs and reflector, but not the light assembly.Has anyone had this happen? Is there another source, other than the dealership? Does anyone know where to buy just the light assembly?I don't really want to replace the whole spoiler. My car is a 2005 Smart Pure and if I install a new spoiler across the back, at the top of the window it is going to look really shiny and new beside the rest of the vehicle.

Try an auto wrecker; you should be able to pick one up cheaply there......but is the spoiler part of the hatch assembly?
