My wife's 2010 ES 350 third brake light has an intermittent LED issue. The last 3 LEDs on the pass side flash on/off when the brake is depressed. My understanding is there may be a broken solder joint. My problem is I can't seem to get the assembly out. Does anyone know how the high mount assembly is mounted and how to remove it? I really need to try to fix it since a new assy. is over $400! Thanks

Thanks for the info.
I managed to get the assembly out and to take it apart.
Apparently, the LEDs are operated in a gang of 4. One of the
LEDs failed in the 'open' mode.
This knocked out the other 3 in the bank.
I managed to solder a jumper around the open LED and put it back together.
It works, albeit with one LED out. Better than spending $400!

I purchased a small led light off amazon and it fit almost perfect. I added a little double back tape just be sure and connected the wires.

I bought a used assembly through an on-line "junk-yard" search site. It shipped quick for about $80 total. Not as cheap as I had hoped, but not $400 either!
