Does anyone know the proper way to remove the light bulb for the brake light on a 1998 Ford Taurus? The owners manual says to bring it to the dealership and it does not look straitghtfoward when I look under the carpet in the trunk.

you need to remove the 3 plastic nuts that are on the studs inside the trunk. Then the light assembly will come completely off the car. Unlock the bulb socket and change bulb
