Lightbulb Brake light replace/removal

Hey all. I have a 2017 Journey GT with new style light system (LED SEALED). I wanted to do me custom work on my rear lights. After removal of the inner and outer light assembly's I noticed the brake/riding lights are sealed.. Bad for me. Anyway, is there a way to remove them so I can rewire and replace or is this not possible?? Thank you for any input. Nothing on the internet shows anything at all. But they do sell aftermarket bulbs so I am assuming the might be able to remove etc.

What exactly are you wanting to modify? Don’t think it is possible without destroying the housings.

Hey, thanks for the response. I want to add to the inner lights on the hatch/door that is now only ridding lights with no brake light. If you hit the brake pedal the outer brake light comes on but not the inner. When I removed the light from the door and the outer side, I saw a sealed light on both. I thought I was lucky because both lights (inner and outer) had 3 pins, I assumed all I had to do was run a third wire from the brake light but doesn't seam the third pin does anything.
