@ahighhokie6793 It is, through the trunk on sedan is the only way. Just did mine today also, except I used a $8 autozone running board light instead of an $150 oem replacement😂.
You go into such great detail about how many fastners and where they are... you show the speaker more than the light you say we need a special screwdriver... what special screwdriver... what did you replace??
I was able to use a narrow and long phillips screw driver at an angle to get the screw out, but you could also use a right angled phillips screw driver that's shallow enough to tuck in there. Or you could drill a whole in the sheet metal so it lines up with the screw head? Either way, it wasn't a great design...
I took a vice grip and locked in a philipis head drill bit sideways and removred the three screws easily. I then placed a thin blade between the top of the light and spoiler and cut through the two sided tape to free it up. It came out easily. But before doing all of that, make sure that it is not a bad fuse that's causing the light not to work. Total time was about 10 minutes. Removing and about same time to replace,
So much easier to get at the brake light from the top. The brake light housing pops off pretty easily and the light is held in by 2 screws.
Not if you have the bose.
I have Bose and just replaced the 3rd brake light yesterday. But I have the coupe which may be different than the sedan.

@@drucifer83314 that’s terrible. It was literally a 5 minute job for me. Smart move on the autozone light. I bought a used oem one off eBay for $60.
@@drucifer83314what exactly did you use ? If you didn’t buy an oem brake light mine went out

What special screw driver did you use?

Where can I find the fuse?
