How To Replace Third Brake Light? Newbie Questions?

[coolcar10]

Hi, I just purchase a 94 Lexus Es300 and i need to replace the third brake Light. I tried to remove the paneling without success. Any information on how to replace those bulb will be helpful. Also anybody know a inexpensive Independent Mechanic (or shop) in the Southeastern Wisconsin or chicagoland area, that does a good job fixing on a Lexus. Thanks

The plastic brake light housing slides forward toward the back seat. There are two clips that keep it secure but if you apply gentle but firm pressure on both sides of the housing, you should be able to bring it forward so that you can get access to the bulbs.

Thanks Lexucan. The technique worked on a '98 ES300 as well.
