U mean buy same one from eBay?
Of after market?

I prefer after market with amber glass.
But finding one that has the correct brackets, size and fits seems difficult :-( :( :(

U, u!
Lol

I prefer quality tools - so its back to MachineMart for a Clarke's Soldering kit.

I ll have another look for fogs.
eBay.com will be pricey postage from states.
Plenty of cheap ones from far east - but again too small or not appropriate brackets - will be more work really trying to get the rights fixtures in place :-(

Right
I know my boot spoiler can NOT be fitted at dealer/assembly.
As there does NOT seem to be a boot hole to run the cables through :(
So must be after market and NEVER connected up :( :( :(

Image

Boot End for bolt to fit spoiler

Boot Middle, where 3rd brake light is -
Only 2 holes for bolts - no 3rd hole for cables :(

Spoiler End to fit bolt (not sure why 2 holes???)

Spoiler middle with 2 bolts,
And middle hole for cable run ...

Deffo no cables...

Water proofing 3rd brake light

Making new seals (from left over foam from rear light gaskets)

Just 2 things 2 do:
1. Detail Spoiler
2. Continue to search a way to fit spoiler (ref worn thread holes)

My O.E. spoiler has 4 mounting points to the boot, not 3. I'm not sure if the high level brake light is O.E. Honda or not, but it is made by Stanley, so it's definitely fit for purpose. can you post up an illustration of the brake light itself, showing the electrical contact points plus other gubbins.

What's the exact issue, re: mounting the spoiler to the boot lid? Worn bolt threads, or other?

This is all it is, Mike

Just the 3rd brake light itself and nothing else!

The connection is the tiny bit that sticks out at the middle back of the light...

On close up,
The 2 pin hole bit on the left ...

Worn thread hole, Mike!

Its the hole on left (stuffed with crap)
Image

Poked thru and its shallowed (abt 5mm)
But i think its deeper, but the inner bit has fallen off
- coz u can hear something rolling about inside!
But u can NOT get it out, coz the 2 ends of thr spoiler are SEALED :( :( :(
