RE: Rear third brake light
I just did this job today. It's tight but it does work.
Squeeze your hands into the two access holes and pull the red plastic light bar down, black edge first. It's a front-edge twist down movement and you don't need to force it. Should pop out of its clips.
Once it's out of its to clips and still in its recess, slide it all the way to the right so that the connecter is visible. Disconnect that. Then slide it back past the access hole until you can feed it downwards out of the recess.
Refitting is the reverse.
When replaing the bulbs check if any are loose in their metal mounting. If they are use a small screwdriver to bend the mounting contacts closer together and refit the bulb.
