C2.1 high level brake light bulb type
- Thread starter 911Tip
- Start date
I expect them to be the same as other 996 variants. Part number 900-631-019-90
12v T10 W3W.
I replaced mine with LEDs. I used these:

You need seven bulbs for the additional brake light.
It's the same setup for the spoiler brake light.

Just a word of caution if your changing the bulbs in the retractable spoiler brake light, over time the heat from the engine can make these quite brittle, when I opened mine up to replace a bulb a few of the bulb holder securing tabs came off, rather than £100+ for a new light unit I fixed my old one by soldering the bulb holders to the power supply rails :thumb:
Thanks for all the tips!
Had forgotten the brake lights in the spoiler itself.
I decided to order some basic halogen capsule Osram W3W and a "trim tool" to try to avoid breaking the tabs...
I usually use the Osram or PHILIPS warm white LEDs, but think these might be a bit bright.
Guessing the designers uses 3W x7 bulbs = 21W to balance with the two 21W brake filaments on each side?

Just be as careful as you can not to disturb the connections when changing the bulbs :thumb:

Mike,
Did the LED one come with a gasket / seal?
