The easiest way is to open back trunk open any coverings or carpet pull it back to gain access to the bulb socket once you see the socket twist it counter clock wise and remove remove the bulb and replace with new one once installed have someone step on your brake pedal to confirm working then put upholstery back and you =have completed changing your brake light bulb.

There's about four to six plastic knobs to remove cover facing rear end. Pull the spare wheel cover. On each side in the quarter panel remove plastice knobs. Pull back. Each light has two nuts, remove. Pull light covers and change. Took me a 30 minutes, had to clean out the trunk first :). Good luck!

Hi open the boot where the light cluster is there will be a panel covering the rear lights remove this, then you should be able to see the back of the light cluster, the plastic tray that holds the bulbs has 2 push in plastic clips just squeeze them together and the light panel will come free, then just remove the suspect bulb and reverse the process.

Hope this helps

once those two screws are removed grab both sides of the light and pull out, the lights are held in with to pop locking pins and those two bolts
