High Level LED Brake light failure

Post by Noginthenog » Thu Sep 12, 2013 2:12 pm

Hi,

Can anyone advise how you access the high level brake light cluster on the C6.

My whole cluster has stopped working. It seems this is a known issue with avants and is usually a poor connection from the wiring loom. For other Avants it seems this is accessed by taking the trim off the boot. I finally managed to do this, after a lot of creaking plastic and worrying noises, only to find that the cluster is inside the boot bulkhead so is not access from here. It almost looks like the rear spoiler needs to be removed but the is no obvious way that this is secured to the boot (perhaps it's glued on?)

Anyway, before I give up and take it to a dealer, I wondered if anyone can tell me how you get at the light cluster??

Many thanks

It is glued on I think. Do you have Elsawin?. If not, I'll Pm you some instruction from it later on.
Too much power is barely enough.
