993: How do I know if I have high level brake light

[Bluey Green]

- other than: see if it lights up! (- thought I might as well get that in first). Is there an option code associated with this that should be on the bonnet sticker. If so, anyone know what it is? - or is the trim there visibly different. I'm sure the dealer said I had one but I've never seen it working. Ta.

Take a stroll round to the back of the car and see if you can see it? HTH

I've seen this before. I think he's looking for a difficult way to answer the problem!

Get someone else to wander round the back of the car and take a look then call you on you're cell phone and let you know (In Russian)



But seriously I don't think high brake lights are on option code lists. High brake lights will have been fitted from a certain model year and be standard equipment from that year, if the car is an earlier model it will of been retro fitted and as such be a modification like putting in a new cup holder and won't of been recorded anywhere.

Does anyone know what year Porsche started fitting High level brake lights as standard?

Are you sure you actually have a 993...or indeed a Porsche?

I had a Jan 96 build 993C4 which had the third brake light fitted as a factory fit option with corresponding code. I dont have the records anymore though as they went with the car.
The 'standard' third brake light is located at the top of the rear window and runs along the roof line. You'd be a numpty to miss it unless you're Mr S Wonder!!

The code is M602.

[Bluey Green]

Thanks. I deduce from that that even if it's not working, it's obvious to tell by looking at it. The centre section of trim on mine just looks like the 2 outer bits.

Just pre-empting the next question

[Bluey Green]

Forgive me for my sides have split.

There are are two threads in contention for "Plonker Of The Year".

This is one, and the other is in the BMW M section where a guy wasn't sure what size wheels his car had been sold with!
