CL500 Centre Brake Light Issue.

[Sand-Dancer]

Another question about my CL500 if I may?

The high level brake light has the far right end corner snapped off....



Two of the five (I think) LED bulbs aren't working either, probably where water has got in....



Any suggestions about the best place to get a replacement? Part number needed?

Oh, and a small thing that is probably related. The drivers side rear number plate light hasn't worked since I got the car. I opened up the plastic cover, changed the bulb, but still no lighty lighty. The contacts seems to have some slight rust on them. Do you think it's water ingress from the broken brake light, and do you think it'll be easily fixable by maybe cleaning the contacts up?

Cheers guys.

Clean the contacts up and it will be fine...I've had the same problem with numerous cars!

As for the rear brake light, I'd have a look on eBay, try using ebay.de and Google translate what you are searching for if you can't find anything in the UK.

The water build up around the boot will be the drains!

Little update, I've ordered a new centre brake light, so hope to get that fitted in the next couple of weeks. One of the small things to do ticked off the list.
