3rd brake light out - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

The high mount stop light is out on my wife's '98 Corolla, and I was wondering how to access and replace the bulb. I tried sliding the housing out from the brake light but it doesn't seem to budge. I thought it would be the same procedure as my Lexus ES300. Perhaps I have to pull the center back seat down in order to access?

Slide the housing towards the rear windshield, away from you, then lift up. Unplug the wire if you like. Then twist it counterclockwise a bit, then pull out. Pull the bulb straight out. Stick in a 921 bulb, then put them back together.
