How do I change brake lights

[trinee627]

The "check brake lights" message is showing so I need to change brake lights but can't figure out how to get to bulbs so i can change them. Any ideas on how to get at brake lights.

Access is granted once removal of the covers on either side of the trunk is complete.

Be careful the way those lights twist lock is a little tricky.

No kidding, if you don't have it tightened 100%, you risk having the bulb fall out the socket and down into the bottom of the tail light. don't ask how I know

I am doing the same thing you are. I was asking the same questions in a previous thread. I have been able to get access to the bulb housing but not able to get the bulb out yet...
