Has anybody removed the 3rd brake light assembly on an E92 M3?
I'm getting my tint done Friday, and besides being easier for the guy to do his job (according to me), I want to clean the glass on the inside; it looks like crap, with that greasy haze that develops when new cars sit under the sun with the windows closed.
Don't want to mess anything up (especially the wiring), so any detailed help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |

After that everything should be self-explanatory with regards to unhooking the 3rd brake light and taking it off. It's just held out by traction of the rubber seal.

Forgot about this thread. Instructions were wrong, and almost messed up my housing, so let me give you better ones .
The housing needs to be pried first AT THE WINDOW. It's 'hinged' at the front (3 tabs). Stick your fingers from the sides, close to the window and just pull down. Once the clips pop, you'll have to wiggle the thing backwards (towards the rear window) to disengage the tabs. Once the housing is off, disconnect the white light connector first (it is not necessary to disconnect the ribbon connector). Then slide out both semi-round knobs at both edges of the light module, and you're done. The knobs lock into place on 2 'studs' glued to the window, so a bit of force is necessary to unlock them. Hope this helps man. |
