How do you replace high rear brake light on a Honda Odyssey?

Answer 1

In my 2002 Honda Odyssey, the high brake light is accessed by removing a small triangular red piece from the right side of the cover. This piece often breaks but I was successful by soaking the area with STP silicone spray, waiting 15 minutes and then prying the piece up in the slot on the left side with a miniature flat bladed screwdriver. You then remove the underlying screw amd remove the housing. Twist the bulb holder out and remove the bulb by pulling straight out. Push the new bulb in - I usually hold it in a paper towel because by this time my hands are dirty. Twist the bulb holder back in. Push the housing back in starting on the left side. Replace the screw. Put in the triangular piece starting with the right side clip. I then pry the housing open with my screwdriver very carefully to fit the left clip in. If you break the piece it's under $10 at the Honda dealer. The piece is not well designed but you can make it work if you're patient.

Also, be sure you purchase the replacement light bulb lamp first before you tear everything apart. See sources and related links below for more light bulb information.
