How do you replace brake light bulb Lexus rx 300?

Answer 1

I own a 2002 Lexus RX300. The outside brake light bulbs are changed my removing the entire light module from the body. The module is held in place by two screws

hidden by round plastic covers that pop out with a small screw driver. You will see the two round screw covers along the rubber moulding when you open the rear hatch. The outside edge of the module is plugged into the body with plastic prongs

that will pop loose will you pull the module with your hands. The module will now only be attached by the slack bulb wires and you can twist the socket out of the module from the back. I only loosened the two screws and then pulled on the module and it hinged away from the body allowing me two change the bulb without have the module hanging by the wires. NOTE: 2001 RX300 the module is not hinged. There are two plastic prongs on the module that go straight in to rubber grommets on the car. Once the two screws are removed the module must come straight back to remove it and it hangs by the wires
