Just noticed the brake light bar (above radiator access grill) on my 01 Contessa illuminates with a white light rather than red when the brakes are applied. A friend of ours with a unit identical to mine is visiting so we checked his and it illuminated red, as one would expect. Checked part numbers on the lens and they aer identical, both SAE DOT and mfgr (Hella) numbers. The unit is appears to be sealed so access to the bulbs isn't obvious. I found the Hella LED replacement ($85 ouch). The bar is only 10" long and most of the after market bars are 15" or so.
Has anyone else run into this (clear lights in bar)?
