Default A couple of Q's

Does the rear "brake light" on the boot actually work or is it just a reflector?

Also, is there a place in Australia that makes or supplies body kits for Cougars?

The brake light on the boot is supposed to work, mine does.

It should work and am guessing that the bulb holder and wire must have fell behind. You will need to open the trim inside the boot (rear of hatch door) to access it and plug it back in the light case. No reason for anyone to chop it. Am sure it must have fell behind.

There no local manufacturers of body kits in Australia so you will have to import one from the USA. Best thing to do is get on line and check which kind yuo want as there is quite a variety and take it from there.

Woohooo, after a bit of a search, found said holder. It had dropped way down into the boot section, so all is good now.

Thanks REDDYZ for pointing me in that direction...
