Question Wing brake light removal ?

Anyone have experience removing the light assembly itself ? Or, access to the Porsche work instructions?

I intend to add a blinking light feature to the center rear brake light and would like to see if there is room to mount a match-box sized module in the recess. Otherwise it will need to be mounted at the base of the wing structure (and subject to more environmental concerns).

Thank you in advance.

Question Still could use help

I found two captured torx bolts hidden under red plastic tabs at the ends. See photos.

The bolts were on fairly tight. After many counter-clockwise rotations, it became evident the bolts are "captured" and do not come all the way out.

Despite loosening them, the lens/assemble does not pop out. It is probably snapped in, but I don't know from which direction and I don't want to break it.

Anyone have access to the work instructions .... please?



Torx bolts hidden at ends.

Notice black "L" tab on left side.


Another anomaly: I tightened the torx bolts, but they now
spin endlessly in the Clockwise direction. There must be a trick w/ the black "L" shaped washer, but I don't know what it is. Thoughts ?
