If you pop the trunk and dig behind the carpet you will see hand screws that loosen the light.

very easy, no tools needed.

Pop the trunk, pull the liner back around where the brake lights are, and undo the plastic nuts. The light will come free and you can replace the brake light bulbs.

Yes, people calling them "break" lights annoy me
