Dorman 923 228 Third Brake Lamp Review

3rd Brake Light Exact Replacement For my 2006 Mini S. Perfect fit, no gaps, very easy to install! If you need a replacement, this is what you need! Obtain! Like most, my red reflective lens fell off, probably while driving. Very happy with this item!

As others have said, the red plastic outer cover on my stock unit mysteriously disappeared one day after running the car for 11 years. I was keen to try an alternative as the OEM seems to have a defect. The fit and brightness are the same as the OEM. Can't beat the price. The real test is durability.

It seems the factory lighting had the problem that others are talking about. The original's red cap is gone, but again this is a 2005 Mini. The price for this part could not be better. The same build was $142 on an auto parts site.

Like many Mini R53 Cooper S owners, my red lens fell off the third brake light. I looked on You Tube to find out how to remove the light. It's very easy, actually easier than shown in a couple of videos. There are 3 TX15 screws on the top of the hatch. Remove the screws. Now the videos on You Tube said you had to loosen and pinch the rear spoiler but I was able to get mine off without touching the spoiler. After removing the brake light screws, use a screwdriver to pry the posts out, then the…
