Hi all,

The rear brake light has broken and fallen on the floor, could you please help with replacement details so I can order a new unit for 2011 VW California and any help with installation.

Thanks

This is very common on T5.1 vans - just type "Brake light" into the search - there is quite a bit of information on how to do the replacement yourself.

You can buy it here:

High Level Brake Light VW T5 2003–2015 (Tailgate)

Fits VW T5s from 2003 to 2015 with tailgates. Please Note: Will not fit high roof models.

It is the full unit not just the lens.

Thanks for the reply , I have typed ‘brake light’ into the search and yes there is various post , a lot on warranty replacement but not many on a step guide to doing it yourself.

On the photo do I need to remove part A or B or both?

I am keen to give it a go , just need a few details of where to start and issues to be aware of.

Also recommended tools available to buy.

Thanks All.
