take out all screws and clips that can keep you from pulling back the carpet in the trunk around the tail light area. pull back the carpet, and unplug all the lights, take out all the nuts that are connected to the back of the tail light. take out the tail light, replace with new one, reverse the process. dont forget the light bulbs in the tail you took out..
those are just general directions, cuz i dont have access to my car right now. maybe someone can tell you what size sockets/wrenches to use on the nuts that hold on the light, as well as the exact amount of bolts and clips there are... i've done it twice, and its really not that hard..

Thank you so much
I did it yesterday on my own and it took no more than 20 minutes. I am proud of myself for doing it alone
Thank so much for the directions though, they would have been helpful had I seen them yesterday.
