3rd Brake Light? (StompLight)
 
Okay, My 3rd break light has stopped working for a while now and I want to replace the light, only thing is, i cannot find out any info on what light i need to buy and where i need to buy it from?

All i can see online is how i can repurchase the entire set for $320... :/

Please help?

it only comes as an assembly, you can't easily replace individual bulbs.

quick search yielded this Home Page > Search > 63258362039 > ES#175000 .TOP LIGHT - 63258362039
for the white one

your telling that there each there one little bulbs? and if thats true how can it be that they ALL went out in one shot?

I thought that's what you were asking :dunno:

the assembly is composed of individual bulbs. if you shorted out the bulbs, or the assembly just isn't working anymore, the only way to remedying the problem is to buy a whole new assembly, if in fact it is the assembly that is malfunctioning.

I really dont think all the bulbs at the same time just died out. :/ I checked all my fuses... nothing dead....

What can it be? :/

anyone? please!

Its really bugging the crap out of me... Why cant we change a simple LED light? why must i spend 300 to replace an entire set here?

I think the only way to change a single LED in it would be if you were handy with a soldering iron and aquired a replacement of the same specs. But you are saying the whole thing went out which most likely means it isn't a LED problem so much as a circuit board problem.

TheKingSim0n 08-27-2009 12:38 AM

circuit board problem? so your saying the only thing i can do is replace it? :/
