You have to find the bulb if that indicator is for bulbs. It might also be for the switch that says if your ebrake is on. For the bulbs and changing procedure, take a look in the manual.

Have someone apply the brake while you look in back to see which ones are burnt out. Then, take the bulb out and get one with the same number. If it doesn't have a number, ask the auto parts store.

very easy, as Finch said, have someone hit the breaks while you look to see what one it is, then this is the bulb replacement guide

Tail light
2057

Stop light
2057

Back up light
1156
