First off open your trunk and get behind the tail light…
You’ll see a cover, just remove it and you’ll see the nuts to the tail light…
To access it easier, just remove the tabs that hold the cloth matieral down
and you can reach to all 3 nuts…

Now you can see all 3 nuts…
The two up top and the one on the bottom which is covered by a plastic clip to hold those wires on as shown on the pic above…

Carefully removed the nuts and then remove the tail light…
Once the tail light is removed, detach the connector from the tab its
connected on and remove the bulbs by just turning them counter clockwise…

Now the tricky part…there are 2 tabs that need to be removed also…use the needle nose pliers to hold the tab so it can slide
out easily while you are prying it out at the sametime with a flathead screwdriver.
Heres a pic of the 2 tabs shown on the bottom.
