How do you remove high-level brake light from Citroen C5 Estate for bulb replacement?

I found on mine it was the connection inside the unit where 12v pins go through the PCB for me i found pressure on the pcb fixed the issue so i put pressure on the inner lens then hot glued it in place to do this you need to open the sealed light unit with a sharp knife/tool be careful.
if it goes again i think i will drill through the casing and hard wire to the connector.

you need to undo the four screws located at the top of the rear window, you then remove the whole spoiler, to access the screws that hold the light in place. as Bob says you need to replace the whole light as its made up of LED's. I ordered one and was told it could be three weeks, check the leds have gone before ordering a new one as they cost over £50 new. and when we checked mine it was not faulty, it could be a wiring problem. so check to see if you have power to the light first before getting a new one.

bulb replacement not possible on c5 estate as they use L.E.Ds, complete unit needed as the L.E.Ds are on a printed circuit board
