Exclamation How to access high mount stop light 2005 Lesabre

How in the "he double hockey sticks" do you get the bulbs out without possibly damaging the sockets??

I did get the access cover off btw.

You will need to take the whole light assembly out before you can reach the sockets. It isn't that hard to do but unfortunately I don't have my manual in front of me.

If my memory serves me correct there should be two or three Torx screws holding the assembly in from the top.

Thanks Rasp, I will look at that, I didn't see those when I was looking earlier.

Rasp, that definitely was the issue. The only thing different, for the other people that have to change a bulb, is that the screws are just hex head screws. Two screws and it just dropped out. I now have LED bulbs in place. They work great!! Thank you Rasp!!!
