I'm assuming that you are referring to the brake lights on either side of the tailgate / trunk.

Open the tailgate / trunk. Remove the two screws that hold the light cluster in place.

You would expect it to slide free as you pull it toward you - it doesn't. That's because there is a pin that protrudes from the light cluster that seats in a hole in the side of the car. Pry it loose by running something flexible and plastic (to avoid scratching the paint) around the upper edge of the light cluster housing. I used a plastic kitchen implement. It should pop free with some wiggling, allowing you to draw the cluster out of it's place.

Replacing the bulb is easy after that. If you're asking how to replace the eye level unit, I don't know, mine has never failed. Good luck with your repair!
