Is there anyone on here selling or knows who sells the replacement LED lights for my third brake light in my Cup spoiler?

cheers.

Think you can take thr panel out of a pov spec clio brake light and it fits

There was a guy on the Facebook groups, worth asking on a few

Isn't there an LED light strip from Toolstation that works pretty well?

@leeds2592 replaced his with a 25w bulb and holder from b and q and it worked really well. It wasn't subtle but it lit up nicely

Hmm might try to re build with new LED’s then.
Thanks Guys, I’m surprised no one has come up with replacement LED internals

Yeh, I put an LED strip in mine. Cost me all of about £6 to do. Put it behind the clear plastic diffuser and it looks pretty OEM. I'll try find a photo now.

I've had the same problem recently.

There was a guy on Facebook selling the led boards separately but he also sold out of them all. I needed mine working for it to pass the MOT so I went to Toolstation and bought an LED strip. This one https://www.toolstation.com/led-ip65-flexible-strip-light/p43662

Cut the wiring on the led down added some spade connectors on and voila. Unfortunately because of how I mounted the led strip inside, the leds are really noticeable now. I'm currently working on another one where I'm putting the leds behind the clear bit in the brake light housing for it to look a bit more Oem.

I might make a guide once I've done to help anyone else who may have the same issue.

Posted this on another thread. Think the photo is from before I put the LED's behind the clear plastic diffuser so they're a lot more noticeable on this photo than they are now

My first reply seems like a much easier solution

Someone did makes some up a little while back, but when you can sort it for £6 with some bits from Toolstation there's little point going to the cost of making up new boards.

This is all you need. https://www.toolstation.com/led-ip65-flexible-strip-light/p43662

Just remove old led's, diodes, capacitors from circuit board, then stick this part on top of that. Use a block connector (halfords) to connect the wires and that's it.

Fixed all mine that way, spot on.
