Urgent! I have an 05 SLE with the center break light out and couldn’t find any information online about replacing it. If anyone knows how to get the housing out so can get to the bulb please reply

It's LED, I'm 99% sure that its not burnt out. You probably have a broken wire in the trunk hinge area. Check to see if you have power and ground at that connector while pressing the brake pedal.

Yeah I got power and ground going to the connection. I can get to the housing thru the trunk, but it doesn’t seem to want to pop out

The seal makes them stick in there very tight. After releasing (or breaking) the 2 tabs and then removing the single 10mm bolt/bracket, you'll need to push inward on the lens, while rocking the assembly up and down.

I do have them available if you need one.
