Open the rear door. And what holds the light assembly is 2 bolts. Maybe Phillips or torx? Remove those, then there are retaining clips that hold the assembly in there good, you just have to force the light out. Then to get the bulb out just twist on the plug which the blown bulb is attached.

The "clips" are actually more like "spears" or "snaps". If you are replacing the left lamp (brake, backup, turn signal) place one hand each at the top and bottom of the assembly then in somewhat of a jiggling motion use the hand at the top to "turn" the assembly from the 12 o'clock position back towards the 9 o'clock position. With a couple/few tries it should come loose. Repeat the same on the right side only go from the 12 o'clock position to the 3 o'clock position. I would recommend to replace both sides at the same time and the bulbs usually/many times come 2/pack.
