Quick question

On my 1997, the last set of bulbs on the right side of the 3rd brake light are not coming on, what could be the cause? Are those bulbs replaceable?

Thanks in advance!

I just did mine

Found the OEM lens online for $35, includes shipping. Will replace it next week.

Already replaced head light doors and turn lamps on front, and it looks like new! Had a shop paint all the lower body trim for $350, just like when new!

I paid $42.00 online for mine (129 820 24 66) , still cheaper than the stealer here in PR ($90). I took my time to take the inner liner off the interior of the trunk lid, prying apart the light assembly from the inside and then the delicate process off closing the prongs that hold the lens to the housing. I still broke about 4 of the ends at different spots. Note if you have the new lens on hand you can just pry off from the outside with plastic tool that avoids damaging the paint. I did mine the hard way to fix my LEDs first that had an issue on the far right sets of 4 lights that were dim. Once you have the lens off you will see 3 small screws that hold the light onto the trunk lid. Long story short I thought the inline resister was the issue but it was actually just the last bulb not making a good contact. I heated my soldering iron and I applied heat to the LED prongs and it was all good then. If you ever need to replace the bulbs they are available via Radio Shack Model 2760318.

Good luck
