Just got an '08 Clubman Cooper as my first car. It has a malfunctioning, moist center brake light. Seeing how easy this is, I know what I'll be doing as my very first work on a car!
Had to come up with a 'workaround' for mine. I have the ever so popular 'left side barn door not opening' problem, so I can't get to the screws behind the window. I actually replaced mine by just carefully removing the light itself from the assembly without breaking the clips! Not easy to do, but I did it! :)
It was an aftermarket part. While the exact model I used is no longer available, this link appears to be the same setup and should work. amzn.to/43uSZLt
I bought mine on amazon, three options. Ive posted in the description. Hope they help. Third Brake Light Link: amzn.to/43uSZLt Or another Brake light: amzn.to/44peM8s Or a third supplier option: amzn.to/3OfkKCf
Thank you so much, bro. This helped so much. I only watched this once and looked like a pro when I did it.

thanks for the help...easy peasy light changed because of your video
I just changed my Mini's third brake light! It was a great video. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Waaaaay helpful, thank you, sir! Tip about the trim lining up before you bolt it back in was critical--I'd have missed that for certain...
Glad it helped!
Have a 2012 Clubman. Very helpful video. TY!

These R 55s are terrible. Mine has an engine management problem that BMW have no clue how to fix. They say its the timing, but it is intermittent?
My question is, is it supposed to turn on by pressing the break when headlights on ?
Its a third brake light. He keeps calling it a tail light for some reason. Works brake only.
Where can I get these replacements? Thanks
