One of my break lights went out lastnite. I want to know if its easy to change it out. I was just gonna go buy one from Autozone and replace it, but since I don't know what I doing, I just needed to have an idea of how much work and time will it take for me to fix it. If its alot of work, I'll take it to an auto shop nearby.

yes
Yes it is easy to change a break light.
it's easy! Some simple DIY skills.
Depending on the location of the bulb, remove the lighting panels in the trunk. Some are snap-on while others needs to be unscrewed.
there are at least two brake bulbs in a car, plus 2 indicators and reverse too. So if you take some time to figure out how to replace them, then imagine how much you could save when you have to replace all the bulbs when they blow out.
Good luck and have fun!
it is fairly simple but if you get there when they aren't very busy one of the staff may help you out and if you offer a tip$2-5 they wont tease you to your face. lol. they don't mind helping out it just seems some one want a hand when there is 45 other people in the store is when get hectic
Brake lights are simple to change in most cars. Some of the newer ones may be a little more difficult, but not impossible. Before you go to Auto Zone, take out the old one to take with you. Some of them can be removed just by opening the trunk and pulling out the lamp base, then push while turning counter clockwise. Others may require that you remove the red lens from the outside with a screwdriver first.
Fairly easy. Your owners manual (you do know where that is don't you?) will tell you what kind of bulbs to get and also how to change them.
All you need is a Phillips screwdriver or a pair of pliers. Pop your trunk and look at the light assembly from the back side, you should be able to see wires, in sets, going into some plug like things. twist the plug to the right, and it should come out of the hole with the light bulb. now just twist the light bulb to the left to remove it from the plug. Put in the new bulb, and you just saved a lot of money.
