How can I open the plastic cover to the high mounted brake light? I can’t figure out how to open up the plastic covering to replace the bulb. It will only cost me $1.99 to replace the bulb if I do it myself. I’ll have to pay $50 to get a mechanic to do it for me.

Don’t know, but, I’m guessing that you open the trunk lid and remove the nuts from the back of the of the lamp housing, or just unscrew the bulb.
