How do I replace the third brake light? I have a Chilton manual, but it is somewhat vague in regards to this. From what I read in the manual it sounds like I have to tear the whole trunk apart to replace the light.

You should be able to get the bulb through the trunk. Open you trunk and stick your head in it. Look at the top and see if you can spot the bulb. If not then you have to take the cover off the 3rd brake light assembly to get to it.
