I went to an accessory shop when I replaced my bulb for the third brake light. What you have to do is, first you have to take off the rear seat. Then u can have access to all the screws once the seat has been taken off. If u have time and know how to do it, then u can DIY it. If not, just go to Trial or any accessory shops.

To fully take out the third brake light, u'll need to take out the rear speaker board.
and to achieve that, u'll need to take out the backseats, loosen the rear seat-belts,
and then remove the rear speaker board.
some reference here (click me).
hope it helps.

The other way is to hold the 3rd brake light, press down a little bit, pull it towards your self (from inside of the car), then lift it up.. there's no screw, just slot in clip.. no need to take out rear seat.. i did it when changing the bulb..

if you just want to replace the bulb, then follow ARSSS guide.
but if you want to remove the whole set, might try the others guide.

i did open it for bulb replacement before like ARSSS.. quite easy but need to pull back hard to open the casing.

simple straight forward and quick to get it done!.. NICE!..
BTW, can anyone tell me what is the bulb size/type for that third brake light?
and how many bulbs are in there ?
