high mount brake light

Is there no other way to change the bulb for the high mount brake light then to take out the rear seat, rear deck and c pillar trim?

I was informed by someone following me that my center brake light doesn't work. The connector is definitely plugged in and everything else works so it isn't a fuse. I just reaaalllly don't want to spend like 2 hours crammed up in the back seat to change this bulb!!

It's right there. I don't have a bulb in there anymore cause I have a spoiler.
Just twist the bulb out. Really easy 1 min job.

I looked in the helms manual first and those are the steps they say to replace the light, then this morning I look in the owners manual and it says just twist. I guess this is one case of the service manual having too much information!

Sorry for the idiotic post!

Nah, it's not an idioitic post... At least you did some reseach first before asking the question...

Heck, most guys here don't have the Helms manual, so you're a step ahead of most

Ha Yeah the Helms way is over detailed & is there for removing the entire 3rd brake light, not just the bulb.

Actually, I think it has more to do with female+6spd CL=sessy.

Not to mention, honion seems pretty nice, I always enjoy reading her threads, and she's very pleasant. It's also nice to see a woman care enough about her car to come to a place like this for the answers she needs.
