Does anyone know the P/N for the clear 3rd brake light? I am toying with a very cool idea, but I need the part in my hands. (Cylon effect when brake pedal pressed!)

 

Sorry for trailing your thread but you'll need this info:
Does anyone know how to take the third brake light off of a standard Cooper? I got the bolts undone but it appears the fin is taped and I don't know how much force it needs or if there is any chance of ruining the paint. Also what is the best way to put it back on? This could be tonights project

 

Moss has them for $64.95. Part #100-589.

 

Here is the part number that was on the box of my clear high mount stop light:

Stoplamp (clear) 63 25 6 935 790

It took me about 10mins to do. You'll need a torx driver thingy to remove the three screws from the underside of the hatch. It can be a bit tricky to pry the light out once you have removed the screws, just use a plastic knife or something I guess (I used a screwdriver, but don't try that at home kiddies!). Removing the electrical wire from the OEM rig requires a bit of brute force, and the damn spoiler gets in the way, but as I said it took 10mins, so its not too bad.

I got mine from Mikey at NewMiniStuff

it's VERY easy to change....there's three torx bolts that you undo - don't pull it out too far initially, as you could damage the wiring...but it's a simple clip....

If you have an 05, mikey can do a clear lens fog lamp too - with the red bulb....it looks sweet
