3rd brake light dim- need help

I noticed my 3rd brake light on the rear decklid is very dim. I searched around, but I couldn't find a DIY or anything that i need answered. So I am looking to you fellas for any help.

-First off, do I need to replace the whole piece or just the bulbs? I think it's LED's so I am thinking I need to replace the whole piece

-Anyone selling one for an 03 sedan in willow?

-Where could I get one if no one has one for sale? Does Riverside have it do you know?

-I heard this piece is a PITA to fix/replace. Is there any easier way to do this or anyone know how to do it?



Thanks everyone

I've read that for some it can be an easy fix by simply replacing something in the 3rd brake light assembly. Others have to replace the entire assembly. Riverside has it for $144.07 (high mount lamp).

thanks buddy. Yeah I saw it on riverside. Trying to find one on here if anyone is selling. Been reading a lot of threads about it and it seems to be a common issue. The coupe light seems real simple to get to, but the sedan sucks, from what I read. I read a thread saying you can get to it through the trunk, which I may try to do. But doing this, it's impossible to get the 2nd screw in. Sucks that it's so hard to fix something so simple.

I would rather try to find one that someone is trying to get rid of instead of forkin out 150 bucks for a friggin light.
