1995 240sx se. On the s14 trunk there is a "false panel" that looks like lights but is just there for "show" or reflective purposes. ABOVE THAT there is a SMALL STRIP. It looks like a reflector that is 1 inch tall by 12 inches wide. In that there are four small bulbs that can be seen from inside the trunk. FROM INSIDE THE TRUNK there are two 10mm nuts(one on each side) of that strip. Once the 10mm nuts are removed the "light strip" still wont come out. The center still seems to be attatched very well, and it feels like the thing will snap in half if i push any harder.

Hope this clears things up. thanks.

It's called a THIRD BRAKELIGHT

, and by saying it's IN the trunk you give the impression it's inside the vehicle, not ON the trunk lid itself. The 'false panel' is the reverse light panel. Giving some sort of idea about the part you're dealing with and what car you're working with might actually be a good idea next time.

Now that we know what you're talking about, remove the two nuts, and gently pry it off, it's sealed in. How do you think it keeps water out when it rains?
