Hi, I'm hoping someone can give me some assistance. I suddenly have 2 brake lights that are not working. The center one does work thank goodness. I checked the fuse and it does not seem to be the problem. I bought bulbs but highly doubt they would both go out at the same time. Tried to change the bulbs but the manual states "just remove the center screw and pull up the panel lining" of the trunk to expose the lights....not so easy. So I thought I would ask the community for assistance. Any suggestions? 2010 Honda Accord.

 

I've seen stranger things before....so the idea that they both go about the same time would not be too far of a reach.

If I'm reading the manual I have correctly, there are 5 clips (2 rivet type and 3 push type) that have to be removed before the side panel will come out.
