2008 Kia: a brake light that went out..bulb..hatchback..tail light

 

Customer Question

I have a 2008 Kia Rio5 and have a brake light that went out. I have bought the replacement bulb but when I went to install it myself I could not seem to get the job done. I lifted the hatchback and removed the 2 screws on the inside lip which should have allowed me to remove the entire tail light piece. I then noticed that there is a third point where either there is another screw on the inside of the frame somewhere or maybe it's some kind of snap in device. I did not want to keep pulling so as to not damage the actual tail light. Could you please tell me what to do to finish changing my brake light bulb.

 

Country: United States
Make: Kia
Model: Rio5 SX
Year: 2008

Already Tried:
Unscrewed the 2 screws that are on the lip of the trunk once you opened the hatch back but didnt want to continue to pull the entire tail light so as to not break the hardware.
