Default How do I change the high mount stop bulbs?

I have a 92 sc300 w/o rear spoiler, and it seems that my high mount rear stop light has a burnt bulb. I only see two lit up on the sides and the middle isn't illuminated. I searched and only found two threads. One is for a 97 sc300 and the other is an sc400 /spoiler. I tried doing what was written, but I almost cracked the s ubwoofer cover. How do I take off the subwoofer cover to get to the lights?

You pull the cover from beneath the sub (in the trunk). There are tabs that snap the cover on. Pull it off and change your bulb.

Thanks for the help. It would help if things were a little more specific. It ends up that the 92 sc300 is just like the 97, you have to pop off the two front tabs on the trapezoidal shaped subwoofer cover, then slide towards the front of the car. The thing that scared me was the amount of force needed to pop off the cover. I ended up breaking part of a tab when taking it out and then I broke part of the other tab putting it back in. Hopefully no rattles.

Also I didn't have any burnt light bubls. There's only two light bulbs in the high mount stop light, one on each corner.

Yeah I know my wording was wrong. I did want to change the bulbs, but I know how to change bulbs- I didn't know how to take the sub off. My question was also: "How do I take off the subwoofer cover to get to the lights?" Sorry for the misunderstanding.
