Answer
Hello Alex

You have to take out the interior trunk end panel cover and the side panels. Now the tail lites should be exposed. The tail lites usually come in two pieces;the bulb holder and the lens. Some wing nuts hold them together, undo them and you can replace whatever is broken.
Hope this helps.
