I'll let you know on the price in the next 2 hours. I'm thinking the same thing that it's drawing too much current because it's the leftside of the light bar that has gone out again twice... than again i never replaced the outside light piece when i changed them so maybe there is a crack on the actual brake cover (the red part haha!) and it has let water in... because it worked for awhile til one of my buddies pointed it out to me yesterday.

Just got back from the stealership, the price is the same for the newer LED brake unit. The part number is A2118201456. The price in NJ is $185 USD plus tax...

Just got mine replaced today - they did it free at the stealership. They gave me the old light and there had been water entry. My guess is that there is a dodgy seal if this is a common problem as the LEDS themselves should outlast the car.
