First pull off the black plastic lip that goes over the trunk pin. Just pull it, it's held down by plastic clips. Then remove the carpeting covering the tailights. The screws holding them in are black plastic twist-and-pull screws. Once you're stripped all the coverings, you'll see the tail light backings exposed. There are four hexnuts that hold each tail light in. Locate and unscrew all eight. Unplug the wiring harness and pull the tail light out. It won't be easy to pull so put some back into it. What helps is to bang the screw heads out with a hammer while you're pulling. Good luck!
