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

    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!

      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

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

                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

                        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

                            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.
