Mine quit working as well.. Of course didn't know it till I went to get car inspected and failed for it... New it's $105 from dealer.. Going to try to clean the terminals first and if that doesn't work, start calling around to some junk yards...

If I could take it apart might could swap in some LEDs from Advance Auto.. Doesn't seem to want to come apart in one piece though...

Surprisingly I have not had any problems with the third brake light on my 02 MCS.
I even took it apart and added the pulsar. (Which I highly recommend!!)

I do however have trouble with my left and right tail-lights. Sometimes they don't come on. Like any British car a gentle tap to the light, and it come right on.
I need to take them out and clean them up!!
