Relax buddy! Here's a bike with no lights at all to worry about

First thing is where is this housing? Inside the car on a package shelf or on a deck lid - I don't know by makes and model. Also, there are probably at least two bulbs there and both being out might mean it's not the bulbs at all but perhaps a brake light switch - but don't loose lunch just yet.

If on a body part and nothing is there showing a fastener than you almost always get them from behind - in trunk or behind where it's located.

Hang in there as someone here will probably just know that specific one or in the mean time tell us where this is mounted and we can suggest away from there,

Is this what the car looks like? If so that on the package shelf and you would look for fasteners right there from inside first - bet nothing shows so look inside trunk for anything that would be holding that in place or perhaps the bulbs go in from there. Your making me work for this answer buddy I hope you know that! Still nothing? The cover is then a separate piece from the shelf panel and probably clips in place. AYOR as when some dinky plastic part breaks you'll know exactly how you should have done that.

The bulb(s) is/are the simple ones and you'll find a twist left and pull idea to remove the plastic/rubbery socket no doubt to expose the push in bulb(s) - Have a circuit tester if both are out (usually those go silver or black when burned out) to test for 12v current while you stretch your whole bod thru car hitting brake pedal and testing for current or take all the fun out of it and get a helper. If they look burned just try a new one - it's if they don't that we want more info.

Slow day here if I can search around like this for a bulb!
