Tips

I have just ordered one of these units for the 3rd brake light.
Here's the blinking 3rd brakelight: http://s257.photobucket.com/albums/hh211...G_5060.mp4


Does anybody know how to remove the brake light from the spoiler for fitting? Thanks..

It's a 10min job to remove.
Start of with removing the plastic centre trim on the tail gate (plastic trim removal tool needed or a strong plastic ice blade).
This will then give access to the 4x10mm nuts. Once removed, the two ends are fitted in place by clips, use the trim tool to prize each end out of the clip away. The waist finisher trim piece should now come away from the tailgate.
Hope some of this makes sence

As for buying this part, my dealer told me there's no part number as yet for it.

Thanks - just to ensure I'm following you is the first step (plastic centre trim) on the inside of the tail gate?

Your dealer is talking nonsense I'm afraid - there is always a part number from the factory. You can look them up at lrparts.net.ru. Here they are:

FFT,Why have you modified my question..?

I took out all the photos that are repeated from the original post, I don't think I took out the question which is at the end - "how do I remove the spoiler?"
Was it necessary to have the entire post with all the photos quoted too?

Looks like its held on by two nuts from behind. Which version did you order?

Yes ok , but there was a link in there for the item that i have ordered, so that people can see what my question relates to.

My apologies, the link is back in the post

I was hoping it was similar when I painted my jaguar trunk blade black as I actually made a DYI for the jag forum but looks like the RRE is different as it doesn't use double sided tape and screws to hold it on.

Thanks for the pics very useful!

It was the Blinking 3rd brake light unit.

I have the wiring diagram of how to install, but i need to know how to remove the brake light for install of the added unit..

Thanks..

BTW.....if you're lookng at the one that repeats while the brake is still on....here is the repeating one on my Jag. The one I bought for the RRE doesn't repeat while the brakes are still on.
