i think you have to remove the whole rear deck to get to it.

the third brake light assy should come out easily. Can't remeber if you push it to the left or right then lift from the back. Once you get it off you'll see tabs on the inside to release the row of lights to get to the one you need to replace.

so your saying that i don't have to remove the whole rear deck? I have a customize system in my trunk right underneath the whole rear deck.... it will be really difficult to remove all that... hope there is a easier way to get to it...
