3rd Brake Light Question
I'm a relatively new owner of an 06 350z Roadster and the 3rd brake light/"high mount stop lamp" is out. The other brake lights function properly.
My question is: Do I have to replace the whole thing (Looks like a $150-230 part) or is this a simple bulb fix? I've searched a ton about this and can't seem to find a straight answer.
Is there a way to diagnose whether its just a bulb/whole unit replacement?
I'm finding parts like this:

but most only say "coupe". Does anyone have experience with this and can send me a link on where I need to go to purchase one?
Thanks in advance!

I'd look at the wiring before replacing the light. Most LED units are made up with multiple diodes, and usually they don't all fail at once. Just gain access to the bottom of the light, disconnect the plug, and check for voltage when the brake is applied.
I found some on Ebay in Europe, but you should check on shipping before buying.
