You have to take off the cover facing the window. Use a flat screwdriver and cloth to pry the shell open. Voila, ur done. If you have the maxima manual, you'll see an illustration of the step-two guide. keep us posted. good luck.


ur referring to the high-mounted stop-light, right?

pull it toward you with both hands... it kinda goes up and out toward you.. if you hear a loud noice its just the clip coming off... once off you will figure out how it works..
