okay i've only had this car a couple of weeks and this is problem a dumb question but my break lights are out on the back right tailight. I went to change it and took the plastic piece off from the hatch and I was told that the tailight has to be popped out to change the lightbulb. Is there an easier way of doing this? or am I don't something wrong?? Thanks so much for helping me out guys!!

 

it might be loose wiring??

lol my break light went out a week ago as well....my dad was steppin on the break and i hit the tail light and it came on.....due to loose wiring....

it never hurts to try right??

and if anything, find a day to take everything apart and take a look....or just take it to a auto store

 

just twist it out..if your talking about wat i'm thinking about...

 

This is from the 97 hatch owner's manual, I think it may be the same, see if it helps you:

 

thanks everyone....i got it fixed this afternoon when i got off work.
