    3rd brake light fell off...geez.

    Was driving down the street and I hit a small bump and my hatch brake light just falls off. Took a look at it and the area around the screws just got brittle and broke. Or I really need new shocks, lol. Does anyone know where I can get one? I can't seem to find them online.

    You can buy the entire light from a dealer. There is little to no demand as they never go bad. Pick a part? ask around

    Not a bad idea, but will be my last resort. If I spend anymore time in the garage, wife will have my head.

    My third brake light was lying down in the spare tire well, when I purchased the vehicle. Upon inspection, I noticed that one of the mounting points was broken. I ended up using a small piece of sheet metal, to put the screw in. Then put the screw through the light and in to its mounting location. It's been about a year and its still holdng.
