Brake light out....how to replace?

I'm sure I'm overthinking this, but can someone tell me how to replace the right brake light?

Easy, mine has them go out all the time.
There is a phillips headed screw on the inner edge after you open the decklid, undo this then simply pull the lamp assembly out as a whole. Then remove the brake lt(usually the white terminal). Reverse.

What I love about this is how simple and easy and well engineered the light housings are, that they are are that quick to pull out, switch out the lamp and reinstall. Thanks Porsche for the great design yet again!

how do you get access to change the headlight housing? I could never figure it out. I want to change out the stock hid bulb to an aftermarket one.

If I recall all lamp replacements are covered in some detail in your 'Owners Manual'.

Porsche even includes a little white plastic 'credit card' shaped tool for removing the lower front light housings.
