    Default Boot Brake Light

    Thinking of getting a clear one to replace the red one but im not sure how it comes off. Do you need to push it out from inside the boot?

    Hi, hope you don't mind me asking. I'm thinking of changing mine to the smoked 3rd light. How much have you paid and where from.

    As for fitting, by the look of it the boot trim will need to be removed.

    It depends on your model / age of car. My 53 plate had no inside access and it had to be prised out from the back. Damaged the original one beyond use.

    Later models have access from inside the tailgate I'm told

    Mines is a 54 plate. i took the trim out where the boot lock is but it seemed a bit far from the actual light its self........

    Ordered mine from my local VX dealer for roughly £40.

    Mine was held in my clips from the inside of the boot. Hope you dont have the VXR lip spoiler as that has to come off to get light out!
