1995 Ford Explorer 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic

Do I have to drill out the rivets on the bottom of the trim that runs in the top part of the rear window frame to remove 3rd brake light. Also, is the 3rd brake light serviceable?

Hi:

You shouldn't have to drill anything to replace the bulbs. There should be two screws in the lens that hold it on.

Let me know what you find.

I found out the light is not serviceable. The trim around the light that also goes across the width of the door must be removed. There are 2 nuts on inside of the rear door & 4 rivets to remove. The interior plastic trim must be removed to access the back of the light hardware.
