Spoiler brake light

[Troy5925 61]

I have a one of the LED lights gone on my Evora S rear spoiler brake lights

Is there a way to replace the single LED light or do I need to replace the whole unit?

also where is the best place to order one from too

 

funny how lotus are still using MG parts as it’s stamped on it

Cheers 

 

never heard of rimmer brothers 

sounds like a pornstar productions

 

i found this 

https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-XFG000150

take it this is the one I need?

Yours says it’s a xfg000140 which “should” have a red cover. The xfg000150 should be the clear lens one. Might be worth checking before you order.

Also on ebay eg      https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MG-ZR-Rover-25-200-Clear-LED-High-Level-Brakelight/143847795285?hash=item217dff2a55%3Ag%3AKj8AAOSwtkheg5Qv&LH_Auction=1

I have used rimmer bros for mg parts for some years.

I did not know this when I bought one from SJ for my gte wing.

Also found another one on EBay 

Mine has both part numbers for the red and clear models

Quite common on mg/rover parts (eg headlights) - it seems to apply to the plastic body and then the final assembly makes the difference.  I would say that the clear applies to the glass/plastic lens  so that it must have red bulbs inside?  Then I would guess that the red part number means that the fitting looks red all the time - so may be it has clear bulbs/leds inside. The old R200 had a previous version of this part that seems to have replaceable bulbs. I have 2 face lift ZRs that use this part, i thought it looked similar to the one on my evora.!!!

This will probably start a rash of sales on ebay

I now have the light and looking at the cabling it’s looks like I may have to thread it all The way though the spoiler and in the boot

 

is there an easier way of doing this?

[Pacederon 21]

If you have not already removed the old light, cut the cable and attach the cable of the new light to the old cut cable and use the old cable to [gently] pull through the new one.

[Troy5925 61]

Yes that’s the only way I can see of doing it at the moment 

[Pacederon 21]

If you do not wish to cut the original cable, attach a draw wire to the connector end of the cable and draw the old lamp cable through and you will have a wire to draw in the new one...

[Troy5925 61]

Fitted the new light but was not easy as i tried to pull the new light cabling though by tapping it to the old cabling 

 

as I pulled it came loose and then i had no option other to use a wire and spent 30-45mins trying re-thread it though the rear wing

Then tapped the new cabling to the wire and pulled that though 

 

think if there is a next time I’ll just cut the cabling and save all the hassle

I had to fit bullet connectors at either end when fitting the light to the gte wing, having at first had the same problem as you had, in particular the connection end was the main problem.
