Removing Third Brake Light


Recommended Posts

What is the best way to remove the third brake light.  I know there are four clips holding it in.  Two I can easily access, but the other two is in the back.  I have bent them out of shape while forcing the light out.  I know I'm doing something wrong cause it's excessively difficult.

Removal and Installation instruction attached.

From the picture in step 3, it looks like the clip is released by pulling the inside piece away from the light.

 

May be I'm slow... but those diagrams taught me nothing about removing the light from the hatch itself.  The manual instructs to push those two clips in.  I'm going to have find my own tricks.  Thanks for the diagrams.  It will help those who are trying to take the panel off.

Were you successful in getting the third brake light out? I upgraded all my interior and license plate lights with LEDs and planned to do the same with this too, but what to do with the black plastic clips through those small holes is anyone's idea.
