You have to remove the entire tail light assembly.

1) Remove the interior trim panels behind the tail light you need to access.

2) You will then see some large plastic 'wing nuts'. Remove these - total of 4 I believe. There is one in ther very corner.

3) When all the wing nuts have been removed you can remove the tail light assembly by either pulling on the light form the outside or by pushing on the bolts sticking through the back.

Once you have the tail light assembly removed you then twist each bulb housing/seat to remove it from the tail light assembly. You can now remove the bulb.

Reverse the steps to reinstall.
