    Anyone ever find a source for the little bulbs in the third brake light array.
    As far as I cam tell these are the markings on the bulb but I don't know where they start, what is the first number/letter in the series.
    The E1 is in a box and I think refers to the type of base.

    You've been inside the assembly before, Dave, so you'd know what will work. You'll have enough bulbs to swap them all out to keep the light display uniform.

    Dave, Barry- If the bulbs are that inexpensive, they could not possibly work in a Ferrari, could they?

    This one, however, while a bit more expensive, is an exact dimensional fit at 17.65 X 4.70 mm and it is a LED so it should last forever in this application.

    https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/miniature-wedge-base/74-led-bulb-1-smd-led-miniature-wedge-retrofit-car/227/7256/

    This LED 74 bulb replaces a variety of traditional bulbs including 74, 103 and 118 bulbs. It has 1 LED (3528 SMD) that creates a 120° viewing angle. Miniature wedge base for easy plug-and-play installation. The energy-efficient bulb operates within a wide 9-14.8V DC range and is designed to last 10,000 hours on your car, truck, SUV, or van :D:D
