Default Replace Rear Deck Brake Light

OK - what's the best way to repace the rear deck (rear window) brake light in a 2002? The bulb has tuned out - and I'm not sure whether I should go in from the top - or from the trunk. Anyone know?

go in from the top. the housing pulls out and the bulb can easily be changed. it will take you about 3 minutes.

Lex - thanks - sorry - I must be a little slow today - how can I get the cover off the light? - I've tried pressing the 3 sides you can get at - and nothing. What am I missing?

I just recently had my back glass tinted and watch the guy pull firmly on the assembly and it came right out. He then disconnected the connector and placed the assembly out of the way to tint the glass. Grab & pull towards you, it comes right out (he did not use any tools!!).

Well, I finally figured out how to remove the housing. You have to move it 1/2" to the left, then lift it straight out. Then you can remove the connector wire, and the bulb assembly to replace the bulb. Thanks for the help, Lex.
