  • In this video i demonstrate how to replace the centre LED brake light on an Audi TT Mk2. you will need some basic hand tools and i used some plastic trim tools to help remove the light unit. It's bolted and sealed in with a sticky seal.

    Thanks for creating this video it helped me so much! Tip for the automatic spoiler owners is to lift it up!

    Tip: do a test fit before removing tape and exposing the glue. You want the part to sit near the bottom rather than near the top where the spoiler is.

    Great video and very helpful but two extra words of advice. The boot lid lock cover really isn't easy to remove and if you use a screwdriver with too wide a blade it will make it almost impossible to remove as the bent sides will act as a lock. In the end I could only get mine off with the whole trim cover...as I carefully levered that off it popped the lock cover off with it. The other point not mentioned is when you pull the old led light out the copper spring clip on the central plastic lug will inevitably fall back inside the boot lid..if you don't spend time poking around to find it it will rattle around inside the lid for evermore and drive you mad.

    Plastic set of trim tools and you won’t mark the panel , or just use some cloth or cardboard , or my close to hand duck tape 👍

    Lock cover almost certainly doesn’t need to be removed from the tailgate lining as it will simply come off together with the lining still attached.

    Few things;
    Flatbed screwdriver for trim removal is not recommended, you will scratch the plastics!
    Never leave something hanging to a wire, you might break it (tear inside) and you’ll have a bad time. Don’t be lazy and remove it properly.
    Hard plastics do hurt your paintwork. Mask it off if you care about your paint!
