Default Changing brake lights in my GS300

I just got my 2003 GS300, and im already having troubles with the brake lights. The right inner bake light went out, but i just popped the back off and replaced the bulb.

I need help though, can anyone help me change my outer right brake light? Im confused as to how i should go about repalcing the bulb myself.

I think you have to remove the brake light housing. There are 4 hidden nuts/screws. Now go hunt for them

Haha, ok I'll give you a hint. Look in the trunk there should be two round caps. pop them off and there will be a 10mm nut in there you remove. Then around the black plastic part of the taillight there will be plastic caps. Pop those out and there will be screws under there as well. Pull the housing straight out and you should be able to replace the bulb.

Good luck!
