Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.

In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the bulbs in the third brake light on this 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500. We're also going to show you how to remove the entire assembly if you need to, if it gets cracked or broken. The tools you'll need for this are a Phillips screwdriver and maybe some pliers to help you turn the sockets.

Start off by removing these two Phillips screws here. Once those are out, you can just pull that third brake light out and push the tab on the harness on the back to disconnect it.

Go to replace the bulb. You just turn it, pull the bulb right out, push your new one in, and then you just turn the socket back in. It's the same for each of them.

Now you can reconnect the harness and feed that wire back up into the truck, push it into place, and then replace those two Phillips screws.
