You have to remove the entire rear lighting assembly. Remove the trunk lid cover on the underside of the trunk lid, then remove about 12 10mm nuts, disconnect the electrical connector and carefully remove the rear brake light assembly. Then, I would replace all the bulbs at once to avoid having to do this again in a few months.

kind of tricky, took me an hour to get it figured out, but you got to opend the trunk and take out the 10 or so 10mm nuts sticking out of the backside of the lid, then the whole solid piece where the lights are on the back will slide off, then you can change the bulbs above the license plate and put it all back together

License plate light

If you place the flate blade of a screwdriver to the right side of the light(s) housing. And push gently to the left the catch will release and the unit will drop out of the trunk lid. Twist the bulb 1/4 turn and remove. Just reverse the process to complete.
Open the trunk to eye level to see to make it easier to see. Applies to all 02-05 Devilles
