    In washing my car, I cracked the middle tail light (arrgh!). I found the replacement part (same for 458 and 488). Can anyone provide instructions or a video on how to replace the third brake light? Thanks!

    Thank you! I was to try to do it myself by removing the air box. Maybe I shouldn’t then.

    Curious, how did you crack it while washing the car? Did a hard object hit it? Reason I ask is mine also has a small chip and I'm wondering how that may have occurred.

    Just by holding my balance with my hand on the pointy edge on the far left of the break light.

    Oh wow, it must be fairly delicate then.

    Hi everyone, I read the posts here and I am guessing if anyone has been able to remove the third break light from a F8 spider ?
    it looks like a different way to do it from what I read here about the 458 or 488.
    In the F8 the third break light is in the spoiler itself and I don’t see how to access it from inside unless it is just fixed with clips on the spoiler itself? any help and suggestions are very welcome
    Thanks
