My third brake light came off the window, and as I was handling it, it broke into many pieces - beyond gluing. Everything seems to work fine with it removed from the system and doesn't seem to have prompted any codes. I've been looking for a replacement for several weeks now, but my question is: is it alright to be without the third light (other than reduced visibility) ?


Thanks, Jim

 

ebay has used ones for under $40.

LNC5000AD or LNC5000AF, then add the trim code from the drivers door to get the
exact color you need. SDZ, NED or ?


New is around $189 from Jagbits




My car did not have a light when I bought it. I added one. Helps keep the driver that is texting from scratching my paint. Just a safety thing. It won't hurt the car to go
without as long as you don't have an accident.

 

That's just the cover for sale on EBay -- and it is all busted up where it seams into the fixture.

But you sound like you need the whole fixture (?) I was able to epoxy the black holder back together then to the window. Was strong enough to hold the lamp. Drove the car for months without the cover until Mark found one for me in a junkyard in California.

Interior plastics in these crates are the pits.

 

You're right - mostly housing shells for sale. I need everything made from black plastic.

 

Hey Jhartz!

We just purchased a bunch of these from a company going out of business that sold salvage Jaguar parts. We have one of the actual lamps with a black housing but not the shell in black only tan and oatmeal.

 

I hope you're skilled with a spray can.

 

UPDATE: The rear brake light shells we have are part numbers: If anyone is interested don't hesitate to reach out, we're happy to ship to complete you Jaguars look! =)

8 years later: car has been gone for years . . . but good news for those still in need . . .

 

I would like to purchase a complete light unit.
My code is LNC5000AD/LED black.

This one could be made to look like new with a little bit of care and spray paint.

Whats the difference in the part numbers? AD vs AF means what? Can you PM me a price shipped to 12477 please?

Might be in need of an oatmeal which I beleive is an AGD trim code for an 01 XJR. I've got an intermittent brake light out warning on my dash and the tail lights seem ok, I just know the 3rd brakelight is going to turn to powder when I touch it...just noticed the support strut under it is cardboard so a prior owner has been down this road already, so this is more than likely going to happen, but not until I get my inspection sticker next week.

 

I posted this a minute ago in another 3rd brake light thread in case anyone has any guidance they can offer:

OK, while riding an old work chum (expat Brit) about so he could marvel at my VDP, the cover fell off my third brake light and landed on the package shelf. Closer inspection showed the passenger side (US) outside edge cracked, dropping the rubber pin onto the shelf.

Timing is everything. I am off in the morning to a Brit car show near the DC area and am in some Jag sedan class of some sort.

So, I tried to use some crazy glue-like stuff to get the two pieces of the far side of the light back together. It had not split completely. I also was able to slip the rubber pin pack into place. What I could not do was get the external housing to Re-latch with the two prongs on the underside. There must be some kind of special incantation that is recited while holding incense in one hand and the cover in the other. So, some packaging tape is currently holding the cover in place.

The light fixture itself remains firmly attached to the glass. For all but the last two years of its life it has lived in a garage when not being driven. I don’t have that luxury.

Anyone have any guidance on getting the cover to seat properly?
