Need some help with a third brake light...

I've got an 01 Suburban... the LED's have stopped working altogether. Any recommendations on how to get the lense apart so I can replace these?

there really is not way to fix them i buy the replacements off ebay all the time. for work the light from gm is like 280 buxs and its a new design so you have to have the new matching trim which is another 200 buxs, where the ebay lights fix perfect

Before you replace the light you should check the "Chassis" fuse to see if it is blown. This fuse controls that circuit along with the brake controller.

Thanks for the help fellas... I ran thru all fuses and everything was good. New light was ordered and delivered.... hopefully it solves the problem.
