Replacing 3rd brake light
Before I start going ripping things apart how do you remove the 3rd brake light in the bumper? Do you have to remove one of the taillights to get to it or is it inside the trunk?

Of course it isn't.
You're supposed to take the car to the dealership to have this done.
Leave the car for a day and then pay MSRP of $163.06 for a third brake light plus labor and whatever other "problems" they find that absolutely have to be fixed.
