172/182 Cup Spoiler Brake Light

[Fishfire]

I'm trying to find a brake light for a 172/182 Cup Spoiler.

Bought a Cup spoiler recently and just got round to testing the brake light, which is dead as dodo.

I know you can retrofit LED strips into the existing lense, but I don't think the brake light is going to come out in one piece (I've already put a small crack in it trying to gently prise it out 🤦)

I know Renault have stopped making these, but I'm hoping someone may be able to point me in the right direction to find either a working light of a good condition lense I can retrofit an LED into.

I know this has been done a lot, but I've drawn a total blank on replacing my dead one.

Cheers!

They're rarer than hens teeth!

Definitely not manufactured anymore by Renault. I spent most of the day phoning various Renault dealers, specialists and Renault Clio breakers......not a sausage, no new old stock, no second hand ones nada!

On a plus note I've got my brake light out, and can confirm that the LED strip is totally FUBAR 😏

I've got a brand new in box one I'd consider parting with, pop me an offer on pm but it'll need to be in the triple digits tbh

Ah, I appreciate the offer but that's a little more ££ than I can justify on a light tbh.

I've rescued the lense on mine, although the LEDs are fried. I'll put a new LED strip in there which has worked for a few people from what I've read 😁

Best approach really if full oem restoration isn't the end goal

Hi. Are you still willing to sell if you still have it?

Boys , use a 300mm 12v led light strip from Toolstation.
Works a treat.

I used the spine of a dvd case to stick LEDs to, and then wedged that into original red valeo light housing. Original metal clips then hold it in place nicely. Leave the original circuit board out.
Use solder and heat shrink. Don't just twist wires together for gods sake.

Be careful pulling/levering the clear red plastic lamp housing out of the spoiler. Don't want to crack it obviously.
Just gently lever out on alternating sides with something that will spread the pressure a bit.
