I'm not sure but I dont think a roadster have the little cutouts/cover in the trunk area to access the bulb.

Thanks very much. Your suggestion worked. Nice to save $ and not feel ripped off. I purchased two bulbs for $4.88 including tax. The job took me about ten minutes.

PS - My car is exactly the same color, an 07 model, 19,000 miles. I think it may have been the last year they were made?? I had a Datsun 240 Z in college (1970?) this Crossfire gives me the same kick at age 69.

Appreciate you guys greatly.

At our age sometimes the only kick you can expect is from a defibrillator.

Great thread! my dash has been having at random the tail light indication for about 2 weeks now going on and off from time to time, but never stays on the entire time. I would check all of the lights, even turn the blinkers on and whatnot, had my niece check my brake lights when the brakes would be applied and everything would bright up. Finally today, when I applied the brakes, that indication light came on except this time it stayed on the entire time. When I shut the car off, and turned it back on and then applied the brake again, it then turned on once again. I was out driving with my sister when this occured, we pulled over, had her jump into the drivers seat and apply the brakes so I could check outside, it was then that I was able to detect the right passenger brake light was out.

I am quite amazed that the Crossfire SRT-6 has given me a very good headsup well in advance that a bulb was about to go bad and it finally stayed on the entire time so I could finally figure out the problematic bulb. So I went ahead and bought 2 bulbs ( they come in a set of 2 per pack ) for $6.00 bucks which isn't bad, $3 bucks per bulb, followed the easy instructions in this thread and changed it in under 5 minutes. Anyone who tells you this is a $180+ job to change is totally ripping you a new one! This was soo simple and very easy to do. Pretty much ANYONE can do this quite easily.

I'm so thankful for this forum. You guys are the best!

The bulb has been failing due to a broken filament for some time and that resulted in the bulb out warning. When the broken filament touched together the light went out, finally it failed totally.

Ours came on when we put LED number plate lights on, had to revert back to standard.
