High level brake light

[jmee54]

Hi,

My high-level brake light has ceased to work. When I took the car for its service the mechanic said they come as a whole unit, is this so? I suppose it's all LEDs.
 
Is there somewhere where the wires may have failed, before I shell out for a new one?

I bought a used one complete with the back window frame and free postage for £20 from ebay. Result

I would guess that it's the same unit they use on the clio mk2 so shouldn't have been difficult to get hold of but great that you found one on ebay with the housing too

You’re kidding? It has to be completely replaced? Wow, that is some precision engineering. They’ll run out of parts at some point and then there’ll be those of us with ones that don’t work and unable to replace.

I love my little wind but this stuff irritates me to high heaven.
