Cabrio third break light How the hell do I replace it?

[parkerbink]

There are no obvious screws, no access from inside the trunk (tool kit is right under it)
edit:
I found the four screws hidden under the foam above the tool kit but it still won't come off.

Bulb died & the check panel light is driving me crazy!

[parkerbink]

Anybody?

Help
Por favor!

open your trunk open the toolbox there are i think 4 screws on the decklid and i think the top just lifts off when you get them all off

[parkerbink]

I did and it's still connected somehow and I prefer no light to damaging it.

yo la reemplace en mi cabrio, deja recordar como por que ya no lo tengo :x

[parkerbink]

Claro que si!

Gracias!

eh just get rid of it with a sedan/coupe trunk lid

what year is your cabrio. I think the 3rd brake light assembly came in 3 different forms through out the e30 cabrio lifespan. and each might be a little different. mine has 2 screws on the lense that give me access to the light bulb

90 4/90

[Nate325ic]

so you have the really slim low sitting brake light right?

[parkerbink]

I guess, I will take a picture 1 minute

I found & removed the four screws hiding under the foam the toolbox compresses into & it's still connected to something alittle behind the middle going toward the back window.






Thanks

ok just a sec let me run out to my car

ok there are a total of six screws
4 inside the tool box and then two more below it
if youu look inside the two holes the trunk below the tools there are screws in there

[parkerbink]

Thanks!!! its the two hidden inside the holes at the back of the trunklid & the two at the back of the tool kit. I got it out, it's the same fitting as the marker lamps (I put one in I had) but the bulb part is bigger and more watts. Anyone know how many watts it is? It's unmarked.

I don't know, but it is part number 63-25-1-372-632, if you want to go to the dealer....
