Open the hatch, remove a couple of screws and slide the light off away from the car.

u gotta pull pretty hard to get em out. There are three screws on either side from the top that hold them in. They hold the little peices down as well as the lights in.

When you open the trunk, there are three screws behind each taillight. When you remove the screws, the taillights slide out away from the center brake light. It is not that hard.

Try the Owners Manual, page 7-35.
