ok bro, this shit is really tough...so tough you might wanna smoke a blunt while you do it :blaze:


















j/k


i quote the manual:

1. Open the trunk lid, and disconnect the 2p connector from the high mount brake light.

2. Remove the two nuts, then remove the high mount brake light from the rear shelf.

3. Install the high mount brake light in the reverse of removal.

[and finally, this is IMPORTANT!!!!!]

NOTE: Clean the rear window glass before installing the light.

Do you think I would be alright taking mine off b/c I have the factory spoiler on my trunk and it has a 3rd brake light. I think it rattles sometimes with the bass also so it is annoying.
