04' MC passenger side brake light went out and need help replacing it.

My brake light just wen out on my passenger side and am really having trouble trying to replace it. I've been told that my HK amp is not in the way and that I should be able to reach the bulb housing but it is a very cramped spot. I was wondering if anyone here can help me out with how to change it out. Pictures, videos, and diagrams would be great. No mods, still stock 2004 MINI Cooper.

You don't have to remove the assembly, just unclip the light bar from inside the car and remove the bulb.

Is this the lower or upper light that went out?

It was the bottom light but it's fixed now. It was those damn clamps that were giving me the trouble. Only for a brief moment was I missing my Bronco .
