Question

How many light bulbs are in the third (window) rear brake light and does anyone know how to get to the light bulbs? (is there sum way to pop off the cover to the sub?)

I'm not sure, but I think it has 1 bulb. The cover for the subs will slide toward you, then up to get it out, it's a little tricky.

Clint is right... it can be a bit tricky... Remove the seat bottom, then the bolts for the seat back. Seat back lifts straight up then out. Remove seat belt guides. There are pins in the 3rd light assembly, so don't get too crazy prying the assembly off or you'd break a pin or two like I did.

u dont need to take out the seat. all u need to do is push the screen of the sub forward and it unhooks from the things, and the brake light is right there.
i had to do that once and then remove the sub b/c a locked my keys in the trunk when i was on vaction 5 hours from home where my spare key was. and dont even try to find a lock smith to get in the hung up the phone as soon as i said lexus,LOL.

I got a 95 and the third brake light looks like you described. With one bulb on each side of the brake light housing.

Talking Finished

I took off the cover and looked at th elight tonight. To take off the cover, I got under the sub cover and popped it up as carefully as i could. i tried to pull it towards me but it wouldn't budge. When i popped it off, i had to unscrew 5 screws and pop off the red plastic. Behind the plastic, there are two light bulbs on the sides at a angle. (dont ask me y Lexus did this). I looked at the light w/o the red cover and it wouldn't look that bad. If i ever get clear tail lights, i will take that red cover off b/c u cant see the bulbs w/ it off (i thinkit is b/c they are at an angle). However, w/o the clear tail lights, it just doesn't look right w/o the red plastic. Thanks for all the help.
