I have a 2001 model so I'm guessing its the same. Inside the boot to the rear you should see a round cover pop it open to reveal a hexaginal screw. Get a ratchet or socket set and just unscrew. The whole housing containing the taillight bulb will start to loosen unclip the wiring and change bulb.
In the B6 (2002) pry the cover from the rear toward the front, use an 8mm socket to remove the 1 screw. This loosens the entire lens. The far side of the lens has 2 protrusions that push into 2 rubber grommets. Pull the lens toward the back of the car. The whole bulb panel unsnaps off the lens at the sides. Remove the bulb circuit board and locate the bad (or as in my case loose) bulb.
