Replacing bulb

Does anyone know / have directions for replacing the bulb of the 3rd brake light (safety light) ...

Mine seems to have blown... I thought it was a faulty connection, but after cleaning it, it still does not come on .. I don't think this is soemthign I need to go to the dealer for, so any tips and tricks would be appreciated.

Thanks

(yes, I did search)

Are you talking about the brake light on top of the rear deck?

If so,

1. Open Trunk
2. Look up
3. Twist out
4. Replace with matching bulb.

PS. - I'm not trying to be sarcastic either...

Thank you sir! I knew I was going to get some smart comments ...

Anyway, I tried twisting and it did not work (when I cleaned the clip connection), that's why I wondered if I was doing somwething wrong .. I did not want to break it or anything .. will try again tonight with pliers or something.

As I recall, it was a bit of a twist to get it out.


On the other comments thing, joerocket just cracks me up, so I'm just waiting to see what he says.
