Default Intermitant Tail Light

One of the tail lights on our 2001 RX goes on and off. When it goes out the light on the dash comes on. You stop get out and hit the tail light housing and it comes back on. Apparently a loose bulb in the socket. My problem is I can't figure out how to get to the bulb. Anybody out there know the secret code on how to get to the tail light bulb on a 2001 RX300? I don't see any exposed screws or fasteners so they must be hidden but I don't want to just go prying on things that will break and cost more money.

Thanks for the quick reply. I thought I had gone through all the posts but I guess I missed that one. I am not sure where the two plastic covers are but will do some hunting around.

I changed the bulb and everything is lighting up as it should however the silly idiot light on the dashboard is still indicating that I have a light out. Is there some esoteric reset proceedure?
