Default How do I change my brake light bulb?

I searched and couldnt find a how to. The brake light bulb is burned out on the passenger side, how do I get to it? I took the spare tire cover off but that doesn't give me access. HELP.

you know the carpet that is in the rear, get underneath the carpet and you will see the screw things to the tail lights..they should be black ..and i believe there is 4 of them just unscrew all 4 (you can do this with your hand) and and take the tail light out

It's in the manual, but they should be able to look it up. I'd go to the store, pull the tail light and take the bulb inside, buy one and replace it. They list two sets of bulbs for these cars and I found that mine uses one, but not the other. It either changed over the years, or the parts lookup database was/is wrong.
