3rd Brake Light

Can someone give me instruction how to change the 3rd brake light lens on the stock spoiler. My lens has a big crak on it and I am not sure if I need to remove the whole spoiler or just the bottom piece w/ double sided tape. Thanks

My coupe service manual says that you have to remove the spoiler itself to change the bulbs inside. Good luck...

If it is like my MX6, you just remove the bolts on the inside of the trunk, pull off the spoiler. There should be screws holding the light, just remove the screws and the pull out the light. I bought a replacement light from spoiler.com (I think if I remember correctly) You might go with a clear light. The one for my 6 was @ $50. that was way better than the $300 the dealer wanted for a factory light, and it fit perfectly.
