Default high level/3rd brake light

My high level/3rd brake lights on the boot/trunk spoiler, are not all working.

1) Anyone know what size the bulbs/lamps are in wattage, to get replacements.

2) Any clues where to get hold of the bulb/lamp holders from any online suppliers.

Not wanting to pay Audi price for replacement unit.

thanks

if you open your trunk and look under where the light is you'll see the harness. you can take the bulb out from there and take it to a parts store.

Thanks,

but my 3rd light is mounted under the spoiler which is fitted on top of the trunk lid and held by 2 screws, screwing into the spoiler underside. Also the light has some 7 bulbs and is approx. 12" long.

Our parts store may have the bulbs, but doubtful and certainly not the bulb holders. Which why I asked for any links to an online supplier.

thanks again
