Default Replacing 2006 Center Brake Light Bulb(s)?

I found out that part of my center brake light isn't lighting on my 2006 Limited G. I'm not sure how to get into the housing and what kind of light bulbs to use (must be more than one because the right 60% is still lit but the left 40% is dark).

Not sure about the 06-09 models but before that there are 3 bulbs. The whole back end that covers the bulb holder just snaps in on the older models, probably on yours too but can't say for sure.

Same way as you said Crewzin. I have an 06 and an 08 and they are just as you said.

Thanks - If it ever stops raining I'll get out and replace them.

They are easy 921 bulbs and pull straight up and out, just remember to clock the bulb as you take them out, since you can't really see to put them back in. Just not a lot of room for your head to get in there comfortably.

I had to replace all three of mine a couple months ago. All three were broken. I had to remove the assembly completely. Luckily their were only two screws holding it and then I just had to unplug it. Some needle nose pliers and they pulled right out.
