Yes it does. There are two screws holding it in. You have to be able to get in there to change the bulb.

I got that far but I want to remove the lens from the housing. It looks like it might be sealed?

It comes off, yours might just be "glued" on from not being off in a while

The bulbs in a stock 3rd brake light are a 1/4 turn twist out from the rear. No need to remove lense once you remove the assembly. You can try to clean the lens once the bulbs are removed.
