2016 Tacoma How to remove 3rd brake light lens.

How do go about removing the 3rd brake light lens to replace bulbs??

I removed the lens and it looks like two small philips screws to hold it onto cab but nothing seated to loosen them.

Could not get anything to seat to take off and I have many micro bits and torx too.

There are lens that reflect light but don't see how they pop out to replace bulb.

Small tab on bottom but could not get then up and out as they are on an angle.

Suggestions please.

 

Looks like too much work. Need to remove the headliner or part of it. If I have nothing else to do one of these days I may tackle it. Wanted to replace with LED bulbs.

 

If you have a double cab then you are correct that you have to lower the headliner to access the mounting hardware, if you have an access cab it’s just two screws on the outside (same as Gen 2’).
