I went to change the rear passenger brake light last night and was weary of the insulation stuff covering the bulb harness..is there some trick to opening this stuff correctly? '02 A6 3.0q...

Thanks!

You talking about the 3rd brake light? Access is from the trunk.

This bulb holder holds all three bulbs for the rear light, including the turn signal light (top), backup light (middle), and parking/brake light (bottom, dual filament bulb). These just require a quarter turn to remove from the holder.

Hope this helps!!!
