Hello,

In order to replace the brake light, you will have to remove the taillight assembly.
The cover is sealed and should not be removed.

The taillight can be removed easily. Simply open the trunk (sedan) or the hatch (if it is a wagon). On the inner side of the taillight, you will see 2 or 3 screws, depending on sedan or wagon. Simply remove those screws and the taillight will come out if you pull out on it.
Then simply twist out the bulb an replace.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
