Brake Bulb Replacement

Hello,

I have a 2004 Cayenne S and I am trying to remove the brake light assembly to replace a failed lightbulb. I was able to locate and remove the 2 screws on the side of the assembly (located in the trunk area of the vehicle), but there still appears to be some resistance to removing it enough to access the bulb.

Are there other screws to contend with, or is there a clip that I must locate to complete the removal?

Any help would be appreciated greatly!

Thanks.

There is a ball and socket joint that is hidden from your view. Once you have the two screws removed, take a firm hold of the entire assembly and pull it directly towards you. It will free itself with some moderate pressure.

Hope that helps.

A gentle hand is needed when removing the light assembly from the ball socket as I've seen a few broken ones over the years.
