Yes, you can change them. However, once you swap them you'll get an indicator on the dash that your brake lights are out. They will still be working though. I'm not sure if anyone has figured out the coding issue and I know some have done this and just put up with the brake light out indicator.

The rear sam on the 2009 can be programmed to have the lights function properly the trick is to find someone who can do it.

Yup. Rear SAM has to be programmed to light up correctly and without any dashboard error. Luckily you have a 2009 and it can be done. 2010 and 2011 are SOL. If you're in the Bay Area message me. I know someone who can do it.
