How do I replace a brake light?

[gregaudio]

Hi, I have a '93 Tarago with a blown brake light in the rear hatch. All my older Toyotas had phillips head screws at the corners of the lens but this has none. Do I need to go in via the back door internal lining or is there a better way?

Cheers,

Greg.

In general on newer cars the lights are secured on the inside of the vehicle - pull out any carpet or trim panels (usually held on by screws or christmas-tree clips) directly behind the tail-light and you should see everything. Sometimes you can change the globe without unbolting the tail-light, but it can be easier to unplug the wiring, undo the nuts and slide the whole tail-light out.
