Before to post, I have already searched, but not so easy to combine several key words for this topic.
Ok, I will search again in this forum .

Often it is easier to do more complicated searches with Google. You can have Google search Rennlist for you by entering a phrase like this in the Google search bar (without the quotes shown here)

Touch bases with forum member JAhmed. Looks like he had his removed as seen on post #155 of this thread; White GT4 / Spyder Thread

Don't ask me, the shop did it for me

I wrapped mine while it was on the car, with the darkest film from Lamin-x, and also did my rear reflectors - I will post a pic when I uncover the car next time. I made a template out of paper and then cardboard that I used to cut the film to the exact sizes, just like when I wrap most parts. Lamin-x sells precut kits for a lot of items, such as the side markers but only those fit properly - the ones they sell for the rear reflectors are not the correct shape so I had to get a sheet of it that I used to make my own.

Here is a thread I posted when I thought it would be easier to do off the car, which is also contains a link to the thread where someone actually removed it: https://rennlist.com/forums/718-gts-...ight-lens.html

Finally, I did it.

Open rear trunk and remove the two rubber plug:



Then 1 screw on left and 2 screws on right are visibles, remove them:



Just before to remove the light, unplug the electrical wire:



Then, it is done:

I assume there will be some sort of dash alert that it is disconnected? I may just take mine off and leave it off, and put a cover plate over the mounting holes.

Can you do us a favor and take a picture of what the holes look like on the trunk lid when the 3rd brake light is removed? And measure the size of the hole? Maybe I can get some plugs made and painted by Eric at Bumperplugs.com

Yes you will get a third brake light error

Bob Z.

So I will have to leave it connected and secure it in the trunk...no problem. But I do need to know the size of the holes it leaves before I take it apart.

Bob,

Unfortunately, I have already reinstalled the light.

Here is the only picture of the holes I have:

Thanks, I see they are different on each side. I will take mine a part and see what I can come up to disguise the holes! I have matching color vinyl but I will have to figure something out to cover the hole first....not inclined to have a body shop fill/sand, etc. in case it needs to go back in when I sell it.
