you'll have to disassemble the brake light housing.

It is pretty simple to remove the third brake light cover. It is mounted with spring clips. Gently pull down on the cover and it will pop free. Just be aware the spring clips may also pop free, so do not lose them.

This video is not an Acura, but essentually the same process.
