There are many questions as to the versions of the Rear 3rd Brake light. Is it LEDs or using the old filament bulbs. Well, there are 2 types actually.
For the benefit of all I have the pics of both. They both have their advantages and disadvantages. I personally like the LEDs ones as they consume less power and doesn't generate that much heat. The filament bulbs produces brighter light causing more heat that could warp the red plastic casing.
To replace the LEDs needs a little "spanner" know how. One will need to de-solder the burnt out LEDs and replace them using super bright ones which can be bought from electrical spare parts shops inexpensively.
As for the filament bulds replacement, it's easier by just pulling them off the housing and inserting them.
Both of the above requires careful removal of the whole light unit that are mounted on the roof. If you are not careful, you could break the whole casing. So do it with "passion"
