How To Remove The 3rd Brake Light Behind The Rear Window??

hello

Well my 3rd Brake light behind my rear window went dead on me. I have to get a state inspection within this month so i just purchased the rear 3rd brake light from Rick@riverside Infiniti. My Infiniti dealership quoted me $160 just to install this..I dont think it should be that hard to install this.

i searched for a DIY on removing the 3rd rear brake light
but this is all i found https://g35driver.com/forums/interio...t-removal.html



beebo said just pull towards me and lift? is that correct?
can anyone else chime in here please!!!

wow i couldnt believe how easy it was to remove the 3rd brake light behind the rear window.like BEEBO told me said just pull foward towards me and lift up..make sure you fold the rear seats to make it easier..

i cant believe my dealership was going to charge me $160 to install my 3rd BL...it literally took me 2 mins...fcking scumbags!!
