Clear 3rd Brakelight

I'm going to be installing a white spoiler on my MINI. I didn't think the red third brakelight would look good with all that white. Most MINI parts places only sell the third brakelight with the clear taillights. I'm not sure which taillights I want yet so I didn't want to buy a full set. Fortunately, MossMini sell the third brakelight as a separate piece.

Here's how it was installed.

Here's the stock red light. It will just look out of place with the white spoiler.   To remove the light, open the boot (tailgate) and remove these 3 screws (arrows)
 
pry the end of the light out with a plastic prying tool. DO NOT use anything metal.   Disconnect the electrical connector (arrow) and remove the light.
 
Light removed. Grab the new clear taillight and reverse the process.   This will look better with the white spoiler.
   
Now I just have to install the spoiler.
