easy as pie
Open the trunk.
Remove the panel covering the storage compartment on the side of the car the bulb is on.
Reach into the hole and feel for the light assembly. There are two large tabs on the left and right of the assembly. Squeeze them together and pull out the assembly.
Push in, twist and pull the bulb to remove it from the assembly.
Put in a new bulb.
Put back the assembly.
Close the panel.
Once you've done it once you could do it in under 30 seconds. Maybe 20. It's so easy.

Brake light replacement stuff
1. I had a bad receptacle, not the light. Try replacing the bulb 1st, of course, but don't be suprised if it needs a new assembly.
2. Always replace all the brake light bulbs at once. That goes for tail lights also. They all go ON at the same time, so chances are they will all BURN OUT pretty close to each other, so that way you do buy the bulbs, you just do them all at
one.
