Just did this on my 1998 Mazda 626 ES it goes as follows:
-From the outside of the trunk look above the license plate.
-Use a screw driver to pry out the light fixture by sliding it left or right then tilting it out of the hole.
-From the top of the light fixture twist the bulb assembly out of the fixture.
-If the auto shop sold you the whole bulb assembly then just twist the new one back in and you are good.
-If the auto shop sold you just the bulb, you need to unhook the bulb wires off of the bulb assembly and even scrape them off of inside the metal plate they are hooked around to get the bulb out.
-Unbend the wires on your new bulb so that they stick out below the bulb.
-Insert the bulb straightened wires first into the assembly.
-From the back of the assembly where the wires now stick out, bend the wires over the metal plate in the same fashion that the old ones were.
-If you have some solder it won't hurt to tack this wire down. I didn't and my lights work (so far).
