Hello, my top rear stop light burned out. I tried to take the middle trim off to replace the bulb, but it seems too tight to take off. I know there is no screw on the trim, but I still can not make it.

What is the inside structure of the trim?

Is there any trick to remove the trim?

The above poster answered. In case you can't do it, I was worried I was going to break the trim by snapping it down. Ended up taking it to the dealer and paid $46 to have a $2 bulb put in. At least I got it washed and scarfed down snacks and soda. Obviously not a good deal vs. DYI but it it got the damn dashboard light off.

When it comes to tail light, at the end it is your safety too. The third tail light improved safety significantly when it was introduced .. not sure if the tailgaters are now immune to the presence/absence of the 3rd light.

I just changed my 3rd stop light bulb a few days ago. I paid about $5 for two bulbs at my local auto parts store. It was very easy to change. I read the Forum's DIY instructions first and no tools were required.

Yes, it is not hard, if pull at the correct points.

Just start from the left top corner, need to use some strength.

I have some photos for locate the internal structure.
