3rd brake light

Yes I think he is right ie. also on the Boxster. I looked at mine a while ago as someone noticed not all the lights bulbs were lit (7 in all - ?). Firstly the whole unit has rather fragile clips holding it together so be aware*. Secondly the cause of some bulbs not lighting is down to the poor design. The bulb connectors are not particularly robust and I am sure soldering some of the joins would help.
I think that the copper strips that make the connectors to all the bulbs just get a bit damp and as the connections are not solid not all the bulbs light up all of the time.
That said you may be 'lucky' and a bulb has gone (doubtful) and so a replacement will fix the problem. After that all you will need to remember is that the clips are fragile*

I've taken the light out and found it's an after market LED part and it seems a couple of the LEDs have failed. The similar part on the spoiler wasn't working at all but it had been fitted incorrectly and the plug wasn't squarely connected!
I've swapped the parts over to get a fully working, non spoiler light.
Has anyone taken an aftermarket light apart and repaired it?
