Third brake Light Replacement

My RX300 third brake light is not working. The one on top of the hatch. The indicator inside the car also lid up.

My dealer try to charge me $60 to replace the light....

Is it really that hard to replace the light. Can anyone help please!

To replace the top-mount stop light, you have to take off a piece of moulding that covers the bulb and reflector unit on the inside of the car. After you pull that off, it's just a matter of removing the reflector portion from the door itelf, taking the old light bulb out and replacing it with a new one. Should take about 5 minutes to do.
