Haven't posted on here in ages but my red '97 C36 has 268,000 miles on her and some things are in need of replacement. The center high mount brake light casing has been crumbling due to sunlight damage and I do not want to take it off the mount in case it completely falls apart without having the replacement lined up. Therefore, I am unable to read the part number that is located on the bottom. Does anyone have some insight in to what the part number is for the center high mount brake light in a '97 C36? Looks like my only option is used from Ebay, but it seems like there are many different housings that could work for W202s. Thanks in advance for anyone that knows the specific number or has the actual part they would be willing to sell.

Is your's LED? or Old school? Can you post a pic of the bottom of it? I might have a black replacement.

Sulaco - I purchased a back replacement and that was the cause of the rest of the casing to crumble and fall apart. The light is old school and not LED. Thanks!

I bought one on ebay but its for an older model than my 99 C43 (which came with LED). If it fits yours I'll cut you a killer deal on it.
