Brake light

this may sound really simple, but my left brake light it out and i was wondering if i could get some insight on replacing it. i have a bulb, but i can't find (after a 10 second look) where the bulb is at and how to remove it to replace it...any help is appreciated

what year?

wagon or sedan?

I see in your profile you have a 97. The nuts that come into the trunk that hold your lense in place have to be taken off. On the top side of the lense there is also a phillips head screw that holds a water drip guide that also has to come out. When the lense is loose, gently start to pull it away from the car, starting at the point closest to the trunk lock, then working outward. The bulb sockets are easily removed with a counter-clockwise turn. I suggest replacing all the bulbs while you have the lense off.

thanks for the help...i will give it a try and let you know how it goes

success! thanks a lot for the help
