Hello.

I'm wanting to change my third brake light in my S, is this an easier job than changing the one in my cooper?!

I'm at work without my car otherwise i'd check myself....

cheers fellas.

yes very easy with a MCS, as the spoiler gives easier access.

Think its 3 screws, unfastened on the inside of the boot, at the top of course, then the light will loosen, then edge it out and unclip the connector. Coopers are a lot harder due to the shape of the spoiler.

Thanks very much!
