2006 Audi A6 Avant - 3rd Brake Light Replacement
#21
Thanks Jeff. I had a look on AliExpress and see a few vendors offering complete lamp units with delivery to Sweden at only a little more than the price you mentioned, so I suppose the most sensible thing would be for me to get a replacement unit ordered rather than messing about. Nevertheless if you do find yours and have any insights I’d be interested to hear.
There’s some rust bubbling up under the paintwork in a couple of spots around the lamp, just visible in the pic I posted. I should do something about that too while the lamp unit is removed.

the light itseld is probably fine, its the actuall conenctor behind it that corrodes and looses contact. Mine was literally rotten, that we had to cut the connector off and put new one in, part that comes from the car and plugs into the connector from light. The part from the light had metal pins broken off inside the actuall connector.

order a chinese replacement, or grab an original (not that expensive tbh)
