Default Roadster Third Brake Light...Need Forum Expertise!

Hi Everyone,

I just had my car inspected with 6K miles on it. It failed due to the Third Brake light not working. Has anyone had to replace the LED third brake light that is located below the spoiler on the roadster? If so, how difficult is it to install? Does the whole spoiler motor have to come out? Does anyone have any pics? Are there any pics of a roadster with the brake lights lite? Only some of the LED's in the assembly are lite and the lights that are lite are not very bright. I assume they should all be lit. Can you normally see the LED brake light during the day? Never noticed...so I do not know how long it's been out. Also...if it's not working...shouldn't the dash brake light be lite?

Also, this is the first time i've noticed that none of the brake lights go on during the day if the car is not running. In all other cars i've had...if your in the car and step on the brake...the brake lights lite-up...whether or not the engine is running. Comments please!

Also...the dealer said that bulbs are not covered under the warranty. That's got to be bull...since it's an LED assembly. Anyone know if this is true?

I am not looking forward to the dealer ripping apart my car! The service mechanic has never replaced one before...so I'd like to understand the problem before he replaces it, so I can help guide him. The parts on order. Please reply ASAP. Thanks.

If anyone has a Roadster manual...could you look it up and comment.

Thanks...Ben
