How to Remove the Third Brake Light from an Audi A3?

Model: Audi A3 MK 2, 8P - Years 2003-2013
Part:

Removing the third brake light, located at the top of the tailgate, is fairly straightforward but requires care not to damage the pressure clips of the internal plastic cover. To access the third brake light, you must first remove the central trim panel and then take off the side and upper trim panels. This involves extracting the anchoring tabs from their respective slots. Once you reach the third brake light, unscrew the fixing screws, disconnect the connector, and remove it from its housing. You can then proceed to replace the bulbs if necessary.
