Default Changing high mount brake light 2002

Does anyone have instructions on how to change out the high mount brake light (center brake light, on rear window) of the 2002 LS 430?

Thanks

It's easy. The secret is that the cover shifts to the side, before it comes toward you, if you are kneeling in the back seat. When it comes off, the bulb holder will be exposed, and you need to take it out to remove the old bulb, and insert the new one. There are more detailed instructions around, I'll see if I can find them.

OK - found this from my earlier post.

Well, I finally figured out how to remove the housing. You have to move it 1/2" to the left, then lift it straight out. Then you can remove the connector wire, and the bulb assembly to replace the bulb.
