First of all, make sure it's the light that needs replacing. My '98 has an alarm, and when the button is pushed to arm the system, the lights flash, but when the brake pedal is depressed, they do not flash. This leads me to believe there is a faulty switch between the pedal and light. If this is not the case, the panels inside the trunk lid are removable, exposing the lamp assemblies. Turn the assembly counter-clockwise to remove the bulb.

I assume you only need to change the bulbs. Go into the trunk and look up. You should see the wires leading to the mounting point for the third brake light, you candisconnect the connectors and then change the bulbs this way.
check your bulbs
