Rear Tail Lights.!!!!

Could use some form of help. Lately I’ve been driving and get told a few times a day I have a brake light out. I have it pictured below as to which light is out but do not know what exact light it is and how to go about changing it. HELP.!!!

The car will tell you that you have a light out.

Every light on my car is in the owners manual with instruction on how to change and size bulb. Also without year and model info, one vehicle could be different than another.

Go in the trunk, take off the passenger side panel and it reveals the brake light holders. The one that is out will be the top light in the column of 3. Probably a twist and pull to extract, then replace the bulb and reinsert. Owner's manual will tell you what bulb you need.

No need to remove the rear light trim or remove the whole assembly for this, the pelican instructions are for a slightly different repair.

Convertible but same principal.

Melting taillight issues to look for.
