Mercedes W124 / W126 / W201 Third Brake Light Cover A0008201609 + A0008201049
This replacement third brake light cover restores the interior rear lighting assembly for Mercedes-Benz limousine models, replacing OEM A0008201609.
Description
The third brake light cover protects the internal bulb assembly and directs illumination outward. Over time, original factory covers become brittle from continuous UV exposure and intense cabin heat. This replacement part directly addresses cracked or missing covers for the shorter limousine rear parcel shelf design.
Manufactured from ABS plastic, it matches the factory dimensions and secures the brake light structure. It serves as a direct replacement for OEM A0008201609 and A0008201049, restoring the original structural integrity of the rear interior.
