Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Evening all, A neighbor saw my rear brake lights come on, on the spoiler, but advised me that it looked a little odd. What appeared to be 2 'lights out' within the cluster itself, but neither of us were sure what it should look like. My guess, is it is a complete set of red lights, but, the ones that were 'out' were symmetrical. Im not sure if Im making much sense, and cannot take a picture as I cant depress the brake and capture at the same time, so have attempted to re-create below (OoOOOOoO) Imagine the above is the brake light bar, the two small 'o' are where it doesn't light up. Is this two blown/dud bulbs, or is this 'normal'? Ta Mark

POST 3Original post

They are individual bulbs in a strip connector. The Porsche part number is 900.631.019.90 @ £1.60+VAT each.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks guys, that's what I thought. At least it looks symmetrical as it is, to help my OCD

POST 5Original post

A few years ago OPC said I need a new 3rd brake light as several bulbs were not working I took it apart, assembled it back together & 'bingo' everything working & has not been a problem since...... A saving of approx £125 I think I was quoted There was never any mention of replacing bulbs...... Perhaps try that 1st!

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

thanks. Yes, defo going to do bulbs first. Am at Swindon OPC for the 70th birthday on Sunday 10th. May pre-warn them that I want 2, as I doubt parts will be open that day.
