Theres really not that much that can go wrong with them.

Its only a plastic housing and a bulb holder. (unless its an LED unit)

Just check the bulb connections are tight (and the bulb hasnt blown)

If you have a multi meter check its getting power.

Its not a part that needs 'replaced' any problem will be easly fixed.

Any other questions just ask.

ive had the strip out as i thought it could be the bulbs blown and needong changing but it has little led lights so i cnt just change tem would have to be a whole new strip. Ive not checked the connectors so will do that. Ive had to replace a brake light and number plate light since last week so cud hav just blown.

Just go onto ebay and buy a 48 LED strip for around a pound.

Then cut to length.

When mine failed I just removed the trim and saw that the circuit board had become loose due to bad soldering. 10 minute fix.

Worth noting that it is not a requirement for the UK MOT test for it to work - provided both side brake lights are operational.

Red 03 plate 5dr 1.9 Dynamique dci120

Best advice for Megane owners: sell it before it bankrupts you!

Thats handy to know, if its not a requirement i won't rush to get it replaced. Might just look around some scrapyards and see if i can locate one! Renault want £49.50 for it. I think not for a brake light!
The other 2 work so it isn't desperate!
