On the upper edge of the rear hatch of this Audi model, the LED third brake light is located. To replace it, you should remove the plastic cover of the hatch.

However, you can detach just the upper trim and pull it away by inserting a spacer, such as a roll of tape, as shown in the video. The plastic is flexible enough to be moved without damage.

At this point, press on the metal tabs that secure the third brake light to the body and detach it to remove it from its housing, then disconnect the power connector. Spray some contact cleaner on the connector before attaching it to the new brake light and reverse the steps for installation.
