unscrew the Torx screws holding the red lense on, pop out the old bulb, match the number at a local auto parts store.

If you break the lens don't sweat it. I have x-2 complete 3rd brake lights I am getting ready to part with It will not break as easy as you might think.

Use a panel tool, if you have one. Should pop out.

OK !!!! I DID IT!!!!

My problem was that I was trying to pry the wrong part off - was trying to take off part of the black part instead of just the face of the light.

Thank you Tim and Thumper!
