    stuck brake light

    so I was buying tom some beer today and while putting it in the trunk, noticed my brake lights were still on, tom was sitting in the car listening to the radio. Anyway tried looking in the bentley but coudlnt' find anything, probably an easy fix but, please steer me in the right directing please, thanks.

                  I think the replacement part that u get from the dealer, is from the E36... They told me whenI replaced it that they no longer make the one for the E30, but the E36 one, just clips right into place, in the same spot, even thought it looks a bit different
