Open your trunk and go to whatever side needs replacing and there will be a black round cap, about the size of a quarter maybe bigger. Unscrew that and you should be able to pull back the carpet right behind the rear lights, if you cant get the carpet the long black plastic strip with 4 to 5 black plastic caps like the other one where your truck latches, pop 1 or 2 of those out right/left pending what side your working on you should be able to pull carpet back, when you get it right behind the light in the trunk you will find 2 nuts that are screwed onto a bolt, you can only see the threads of the bolt not the head, the bolts are about 1" maybe 1 1/4" long. Unscrew both of those and the whole brake light casing and cover should slide right out the back, so pull the light towards you. Look in your owners manual to determine which light is the brake light, there's two lights, one is the brake light and the other one is the parking lamp, turn light bulb socket which ever way it needs to turn to come out the back of light casing, pull, light out of socket and install new light, reverse procedure to install everything back.
There are actually 5 screws that are part of the lens assembly that stick through the body fastened by nuts on the inside. Use a 7/16 long socket with a stubby ratchet. When reattaching the lens assembly be careful not to over-tighten nuts to avoid breaking the assembly. Since you've gone to all this trouble,replace all the bulbs, not just the burned out one.
