Replace third brake light

[egbert.groot@h]

How can i access my third brake light on a Tesla Model S ( 2014 ) .... 30% of the LED's have gone bad. How do i get to this unit?

Ebay or other used part dealers is your best choice, IMHO. You can also order new:

Don’t you have to remove the rear glass to get to it?

Yep. Brilliant design, lol.

Egbert, you have to remove the rear window in order to get to the brake leds. Please be aware there is a big chance you’ll break the rear window in doing so.

Really not an easy job, and be prepared to pay for a new rear glass if you or whomever is doing it breaks it.

I would just let that brake light die!

I'm having the same problem. It's so frustrating. I have a replacement light bar but no way to install it!
