Looking for a third brake light in red. I know a lot of people change over to the white. I have white and want to go to red........ cause my car is red and I think it will look better.

Let me know what you got !!

That was one of the things I had on my sooner-rather-than-later to-do list for my Z4MR. Felt it would have tidied up the back end very nicely and blend with the Imola Red paint.

Just a word of caution when you do replace, there's a lot of threads related to the light cracking from over-tightening (apparently what a normal person sees as snug is too tight), which is one of the reasons I put it off.

Thank you for that advice. That's really good to know. And mine is red too and I was thinking exactly the same thing.

Just trying to avoid dishing out $$ at the dealership, although it may just come to that.

If you're looking brand new, ECS had a really good price for the OE part. Best value would be to ship it to a US address across the border (I use CBI who charges a flat $6).

Although I'm shocked nobody who elected to switch to a clear light has a spare red one to sell.
