This is really simple to do. Remove the two black lugs on either side of the inner boot panel( the carpeted panels). Just twist them 90 degress with a flathead screwdriver and pull them out. After you remove these, just shake the panel around until it comes out of position ( sometimes the flat cover that rests over your spare tire gets in the way so take this out first). Once its removed you will find 4 bolts on each tail light holding it in place. Simply unscrew those and pull the tail light out of place and your done! hope that helps!
