Pretty simple/ Remove the TWO inboard brake Lights. Reach in and remove the four Nut/Washers that secure the chin spoiler to the rear fascia. Pull the spoiler up about an inch and use your finger to pop off the electrical connector for the brake light.

Once the spoiler is off, remove the TWO center stud that secure the light to the spoiler. The entire LED Light assembly is one piece and comes out as an assembly.

Install is the reverse procedure.

I might add that when removing the four nuts, take your time to prevent dropping them..................or you will be sorry.

Thanks for the heads up. I see what you mean if you drop one. Got the 3rd brake light off (with your help). Thanks again. Dennis
