Convertible trunk/boot third brake light

[Doc423]

My Convertible trunk third brake light is out and showing "Brake Light Issue" on the OBC; upon doing research I discover it's not a cheap $4.00 bulb, but a $400.00 (dealer price) light bar!!!! WTF !!! Anyone out there have a surplus light bar that would fit my '96 328ic soft topper?? Or know where one can be more reasonable obtained ?? Many Tanx.

I have one with me as I write. HOWEVER I live in France. It can be sent to you and came from a 'spare' boot lid, sorry trunk lid, for my 1997 328i cabriolet . Nominal $25 plus what ever postage.

Interested?

Hello Andy, I think I would be interested in purchasing that third brake light from you...it does work I presume? I can pay you via PayPal if you have an account. I'm in the USA and address is:
S. G. Rowe

Gadsden, Alabama USA 35906-7372
If you can determine what shipping will be, I'll pay you the $25 + shipping. Thanks so much!

Now trying to battle the computer driven carrier service for a quote at least
