Open rear of the car and look next to taillight for two small clips (about 1" diameter). Use jack- knife to pop the clips out. Unscrew the two screws behind them with a Phillips screw-driver. Pull the entire tail-light unit straight out. Twist the light bulb socket out and pull light bulb out and replace. Replace the unit straight in and replace screws and clips. Voila! The inside of the taillight is held with 2 prongs...so when removing use some "pull out pressure"....when replacing, align both the top & bottom prongs into the body of the car, then replace the 2 bolts and plastic clips.
