Anyone replace the rear deck "3rd" brake light bulbs recently?

my 3rd from the left bulb is out!

how much do they cost? one stfa led to .30 cents =)
one stfa led to 40$...

a 39.70$ difference is HUGEEE. lol

and from further searching im guessing i just crawl back under the deck and pop out the housing via a screw or two or a plastic clip

Just reach underneath the 3rd brake light fron the trunk and pop the cover off...

and the LED strip is held into place by a spring clip. Remove the LED strip and replace the blown bulb. FYI - When one goes, another one or two will blow soon enough, so buy a bunch of them while you're at it.
