3rd Brake Light Help
Can someone help me with instructions on how to get to the back of the 3rd brake light?
Trying to install a 3rd brake light pulser and having trouble getting to the wiring without pulling the whole car apart.
Any help is appreciated

Just pull the rear plate mounting bracket and you will find the plug there. Easy.

Heres the idea and a pic that will help
Third Brake Light Replacement
Remove one of the tail lamps
You can get to the 3rd brake lamp unit through the tail light opening
Disconnect the electrical connector from the stop lamp
Remove the screws holding the lamp to the rear fascia
Take out the old lamp
Fit the new lamp in the rear fascia housing
Loosely fit the screws
Align the new lamp
Tighten the screws
Reconnect the electrical connector
Reinstall the tail lamp
