    Don't know. I just had mine replaced by the dealer due to a cracked lens and that's how they got to it.

    I want to switch out the bulbs for the bed cargo lights and looks like its a project. Looks like there are two clips at the back which are easy enough to get off and then the handles about the left and right windows allow me to drop tjhe liner but hate to go through all that trouble just to find out bulb can not be replaced.

    Seems like a piss poor design if you have to go through all that just to change a bulb in the 3rd brake light housing .. never paid any attention but will have to look on my new truck

    Had to do this in my 09 Tundra as well, dropping the headliner wasn't to hard.
