Default 3rd Brake Light

I have a question??? Has anyone replaced the bulbs in their 3rd brake light. One of the little bulbs went out in mine and it looks like a @%$&@ to get to. How do I accomplish replacing the bulbs? Thanks...

The third brake light is an LED array, I am fairly certain it has to be replaced as a unit. It is easy to remove, just remove one of the inboard tail lights and you can reach in and access the center unit. It is secured by two screws, 7mm if I remember correctly, the units have slots so the screws don't have to be completely removed. Losen the screws and the unit pops loose, disconnect the harness and remove through the tail light opening. Reverse the procedure to install. I don't have my parts CD handy so I can't give you a part number. Hope this helps.
