My CHMSL (the brake light in the back windshield) light bulb burned
out, so I fetched myself some new bulbs for it, and when I got home to
put them in, I couldn’t figure out how to open the CHMSL. I unscrewed
some things, and now it’s dangling in my trunk by two wires (black and
green).

I can’t seem to open the little capsule thing in which the light bulb
is in.

If anyone could tell me how, that’d be awesome.

Thanks!

There are about four to six Phillips screws holding the housing together.
You'll need to remove them and take the housing apart.

A frequent failure in this lamp is that the plastic melts around the
ground lug. To repair, I typically move the lug on top of the socket
bracket and reinstall the screw.
