you can easily take the housing out by removing the plastic clips that hide behind the liftgate. odd they would say it's dealer serviced. maybe they are banking on people paying $60 for a brake bulb service lol.
I ordered this "fastener and molding removal" set: [ame]http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LNBLTK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1[/ame]
Made it a really easy job. Popping out the pins is a pain without the proper tools, but like the other 2 said it is an easy job to do yourself.

My owners manual says the tail/stop light are LED to be serviced at the dealer.I will call the dealer and see what they say.
LEDs? Not sure what that's about.
Maybe this video would help. Its a 3 min video and he even fumbles pulling the clips out of there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tJdfVKmQW4

frisco, the upper, third brake light, the one on top of the rear hatch glass is what they are referring to.
Your tail lights, the ones on each side of your Pat are definitely owner accessible.
