Bare with me because I am trying to remember this from memory. If you open your trunk and look on the inside next to the light being replaced, you should see three black protectors which probably appear to hold up the trunk carpeting interior. Remove these protectors and pull back the carpeting (held on by velcro attachments). You should now see three bolts with retaining nuts. Remove the nuts with a deep 10mm socket and pull the light from the body from the outside of the car. After the light is out, you will see three light sockets. The brake light should be the most inner light. Twist the socket towards the left and the light should easily come out. Remove the bulb and replace it with the exact same bulb. The bulb has two filaments, one for the park lights and the other for the brake lights. After you've replaced the bulb, installation is the reverse of removal.

I just had to change mine yesterday 4/12/08 you have to open your trunk, look right under where the 3rd brake light is to find wire running to it, twist to pop it out. Hope this helps. B.C.
try turning the switch off
how do i fix the problem if the tcl light comes on in a 2003 mitsubishi galant
Probably need to replace the bulb.
To reset the oil change light on a Mitsubishi Galant, turn the ignition key to the "ON" position without starting the engine. Press the gas pedal three times within five seconds. After that, turn the ignition off and then start the engine to ensure the light is reset. If the light remains on, repeat the process.
You might want to ensure that the handbrake is completely released; you might also check the brake fluid level.
wen I stop at a red light my Mitsubishi galant sound like it is try to stop running
it will be on the steering coluum almost touching the brake pedal. UNDER the dash. wires plug into it. Also Mitsubishi has recalled this part. Call your dealer or Mitsubishi itself (have the VIN handy).
Sometimes it's the Emergency brake, sometimes it doesnt go all the way down. I had to pull, it release it, pull it, release it etc....
Well, honey, changing a brake light bulb on a Mitsubishi Galant is as easy as pie. Just pop open the trunk, locate the back of the light assembly, twist out the old bulb, pop in the new one, and voila! You'll be lighting up the road like a Christmas tree in no time. Just remember to test it out before you hit the road, unless you're into getting pulled over by the fashion police.
How do I get the code
Open your trunk and find the wires that go to the bulb over the license plate. Twist the base to remove the light.
