Default Help, 3rd Brake Light Removal

I've tried google and the search engine. I'm getting my rear windows tinted and I just want to know (incase the tint-er doesn't) how to remove the 3rd brake light so they can tint over that area as well. I don't want them to cut out a small section of the tint where the 3rd brake light is. Looks ugly imo. Thanks!

edit: It's a 2007 is250, all options except navigation.

2007 sorry for got to specify.

Also does anyone know if there will be any problems when removing the tint? I've read in several posts where the defroster lines come off with the tint when you remove it...

Make sure if tint on the rear windshield has to be removed, that it is removed properly. I tinted my own windows and didn't like the outcome the first try. So I ripped off the tints myself and noticed my "lines" came off with the tint. Then I noticed when my windows are fogged up, the back window stays fogged up even with the defroster on, so it's bad now.

If you have no spoiler, then you can just use your fingers to pull the brake light out or pry it out with a screw driver. It should just pop right out. If you have a spoiler and the light is raised up, then I don't know about that one.
