Default 09 Burb third brake light?
How do you change it out? I got a new Eagle Eye one and it didn't come with directions. I just wanna make sure before I screw something up.

Thanks,
Robb

Default screws
it screws into the glass, I got an aftermarket one, but the fit wasn't near OEM quality, so I returned it.

That's correct.

I got it off ebay, it was grey / black I think. I wanted a blacked out look for the truck, but the plastic just didn't seem to be as nice as the OEM.

I was trying to turn those torx screws but they didn't move. I didn't want to turn too hard and break the glass.

It must have really been a POS if it wasn't up to OEM quality.
