hmmm... never ever thought of getting back there. what color are you planning on changing the bulb too? because if its a 2003, there's no way that the light should've burned out already, right?

sit in your back seat facing out the back window. Very carefully pry up the plastic cover that is on the back deck above the light. All the stuff is under there. Becareful not to break the tabs that hold it in.

You might have to grasp with 2 hands and gently pull the cover towards you then up.

Thanks Steive.....I tried that..before...was afraid I will break it.....will try again...Is ther a way to get to regular brake lights common wire instead of third brake light......malli

[steviej]

yep,

open the trunk, there are two removable 3x3 inch panels inside the trunk right behind where the taillights are. On each panel, there are two plastic tabs that push inward and then the panel swings out. Behind these panels are the brake and turn signal bulbs and the wiring. Check it out.
