Ok...LEDS can't be broken all at once. So what could it be? A fuse? Electronics?

The displays gives a German message.... But it suddenly stop working.

Anybody?

Third brake light? Are they all LEDs? Even the one in the middle (out from the back window)?

Kleintje · 6th June 2008, 21:57

Ehh....I ment...the one in the middle

Its not LED is it? There are bulb changing instructions in the owner's manual and there is a little access door back there. (at least on my 01')

It looks like led's... Hmmmm I will check again.

Hahahahahah, en ik maar denken dat ik LED lampjes heb...

(Hahahahahah, and I was under the impression I had LED lights...)

hehe..

by the way , i quickly had a look in my car, and the bulb can be replaced trough the trunk..

so its a 5 second job

open your trunk, and look inside(above) and you will see a black cover sitting there.open it up and then you can pull out the bulb socket.replace it and close the thing.then your good to go
