How To Take Out 3rd Brake Light

TOOLS NEEDED ARE #2PHILLIPS SCREW DRIVER, 7MM SOCKET, PICK
THIS IS DONE IF U NEED TO REPLACE THE HOUSING, OR IF YOUR GONNA SHAVE THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT.
THE DOME LIGHT IS ATTACHED SO ITS A GOOD IDEA TO SCRAP THAT UNLESS U REALLY NEED IT.
ALL THIS CAN BE DONE FROM INSIDE THE CAB.
THESE PICS ARE TAKEN AFTER THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT HAS BEEN REMOVED, BUT IF U FOLLOW THE INFO AND PICS U WONT HAVE A PROB, HERES PICS..

2 7mm screws out, from the inside push the 3rd brake light housing up and with a pick pull on the edge of the housing and it will come out, do this carefully.
