I think u can access the windshield brake light from the trunk. For the type of bulb, I believe u can find it from the owner manual. Otherwise, let me know, I will look it up for u.

1156, you can get to it thru the trunk I think

03-31-03, 10:15 PM

Look in the owners manual man...

But, yeah...I think they're both right :p

Hass, what George says is absolute right. Accessable only through the trunk !!! It´s a 12V 27W bulb. Ok till later on tonight (LOL)-Mike

Glad I found this post because I need to change my rear brake light bulb(s) tomorrow. So, Hass, do you remember how many bulbs are back there??? Thanks for the help...I am gonna go buy bulbs in the morning.

mYbabYLeGend · 02-10-04, 04:31 PM

Look on this linke here... 3rd Brake Light And Bulbs. Hope this helps. -Mike

Thanks Mike, I had read that thread in the past.

I forgot to state my question: the wire that comes from the bulb...it's hanging down in the picture.....where do I plug that it. Note...the only similar looking place is where my LED brake light for the spoiler hooks up. I think I know how the wire became dislodged...but...where do I plug it back in????

Thanks again everybody.

My 91 Coupe is the same way. I bet you have the brake lights in the spoiler. Mine looks like the 3rd brake light was never connected. The plug for the spoiler has taken the place of the 3rd brake light plug in the rear window. I want to splice my 3rd brake light into the wiring so they both work. Anyone know where I can get the male and female connectors?

Yeah, that sounds right BUT my rear brake light worked up until last week. I haven't tried changing the bulb simply b/c it is not plugged into anything...How could it have worked?

Where does it plug into?

So, where does this plug into (I have the LED spoiler but this light worked a week ago).
