I have a 2002 LS430 and the high mount stop lamp recently burned out. I purchased a replacement bulb but I'm not quite sure how to access the housing.

It does not appear that access is through the trunk. I'm guessing that the entire back tray at the rear window needs to be removed but I'd like to be certain before I start ripping everything apart.

Anyone have any experience with this? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
