Center Brake Light

[rockit_mon]

The Center Brake Light located on the inside of the vehicle has a left bulb burned out. I have not been able to determine how to gain access to the assembly. There must be a simple way of doing this. Upon review it seems as though the mat must come out. Surely this cannot be the case. Anyone with the same experience to guide me through this would be much appreciated.

It would greatly help us out if you could tell us what year your ES is. However for most of the ES models, the center brake light can be accessed by pulling the brake light assembly away from the rear window as it is clipped to the carpeting.
