was your vehicle still under warranty, or did they charge you for the job (if so, how much)?
thanks

There was a post by Rudy some time back (a few months ago) that showed how to access/open the 3rd taillight --- let me see if I can find it and I'll let you know.

The cloth cover snaps off.
Then you will see a plastic black clip on each side that slide outward and detach. This action removes the brake light.
it can be tricky sliding the plastic clips back in to secure the housing. but it's doable.
