Hello,

The brake lights can be replaced easily on this vehicle by removing the taillight assembly.
To remove the taillight you will have to remove the 2 screws that keeps the light assembly in place.
After removing the screws just pull outward and the taillight will come out.
Then you will be able to twist and remove the bulbs from the housing and replace as needed.

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
