Default 2004 LS430 Taillight Upper lamp access and replacement

I have removed my driver side tail light and can not figure out how to access the upper bulb of the assembly?

The 2004 taillight is all LED except for the reversing light, so there is only one bulb that can be replaced.
It is easiest to just replace the whole unit with a used-working one, but as CELSI0R pointed out they can be repaired if you are good with electronics.
