Look at the backside of the tail light area – it’s wide open. Turn the affected light bulb socket to the left. It’ll take some force, but you won’t break it.
Once it unlocks, you can pull the light bulb out.
Push the new bulb in.
Put the socket back into its place by pushing it in, then turning to the right. It’ll lock back into place.
at that light there should be two screws one on either side take these out and the cover should come off pull the bulb out replace and reverse the process.
Was able to complete this job successfully: It's a little tricky to do without pictures, but I don't have any available right now.
Access the trunk
Remove the material covering the light. You'll need to remove the black pegs by lifting the centre part. A flathead screw-driver will help. There are 2 to remove -- one directly behind the brake light and another at the top of the trunk.
Pull back the material to expose the brake light wiring and the metal frame of the car.
There are 2 nuts / screws to remove near the entrance of the trunk. Both are about 4 inches apart and hold the tail light's cover in place. Remove both.
Using a bit of force, you will be able to pull off the entire tail light from the frame of the car. This is done on the exterior of the car.
Rotate the problematic light from it's housing (it should come off with ease) and pull it out of the socket. Brake light and indicator are a 3057K bulb.
If you open the trunk and remove the rear trunk trim, at the tail light area, you will see the fasteners that hold the tail light in position. Remove the fasteners and the tail light will come out, you can replace the bulb that is defective.
Good luck.
