Default Help replacing third brake light bulbs in Avant...

A few of my third-brake light bulbs are out in my lady's Avant - you remember, the one with the R8 wheels Anyway, any DIY's on getting in there, and on which bulb to buy?

Thanks!

Eric

Default I'm interested as well, as I have one out. Autozone didn't have the bulb for me...

I think it was a #70, which they didn't stock. Guess I gotta try PepBoys next

are you talking about the top brake light? if so the you can use the write up on hear rear deck speakers. pop off baby seat clips undo, take out rear seat and side bolsters lay seats down unplug light from trunk peal off the top of the speakers deck watch out for some clips. then you should be able to access the light.

i might of left out a thing or two so refer to the right up. as far as the bulbs i have no idea.

Thanks.. But I think that's sedan-specific?

Default Correct - Avant is different. I guess it requires removing the tailgate trim...

going off memory as I haven't looked at it in a while...
