No, you need to check your brake lights again.

The picture that Luis/Steve posted shows how the GS brake lights work normally.

You have to remove the trim around your gauge cluster and then take out the gauge cluster itself - there are a couple of screws you need to take out. Actually very simple task.

Once you remove the gauge cluster you will be able to get to the light out indicator bulb. Just pay attention to which one it actually is. I think it is the 3rd one from the left. Removed mine a couple of months ago, so not 100% certain which one it is right now. I am sure someone else will chime in.

ok i went ahead a did a writeup on how to do this

first pull out the gauge cluster gently remember to pull it straight out

next unplug the cluster and set it aside

next remove the 4 screws that hold the cluster in place (the ones with the white around them)

next gently pull the cluster out a little so you can tilt it upwards

next get a small stubby philips screwdriver and remove the 2nd bulb from the left but this is tricky dont drop it and loose it like i did lol

reverse this process to put everything back together then your done no more light out !! this process takes about a good 20 minutes
