The third brake light is located at the center of the rear window and is secured to the rear shelf with a support plate that allows for quick removal: simply pull it backward like a drawer. If you only need to replace the bulb, remove the cover secured with two plastic tabs to access the bulb holder and change the bulb (T0 base).

If you want to remove the entire assembly, slide it out from the support plate and reverse the process to reinstall it, ensuring the metal tab fits into its designated slot.
