Welcome to CarPros.

Here are the directions for bulb replacement. You will need to refer the the attached picture for the steps.

HIGH-MOUNT BRAKE LIGHT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION

1. Disconnect the negative battery Cable.
2. Remove the rear spoiler.

See Picture 1

3. Remove in the order indicated in the table.
4. Install in the reverse order of removal.

Let me know if this helps.

Welcome back:

Sorry about that. Here are the directions without a spoiler for the one in the vehicle. See picture 1 for the steps. Also, the cover over the light is clipped into place. You will need to pry it off. Follow the arrows shown in the picture for removal.

HIGH-MOUNT BRAKE LIGHT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION

In-Vehicle-Type
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

2. Remove in the order indicated in the table.

Let me know if this is what you needed.

I attached a picture of the bulb type that should be in the vehicle. It simply pulls out and pushes in.
