You should put this in the DIY forum, but there are bolts inside the trunk that hold em in, the ones on the trunk itself are the hardest to take out, the sides are wicked easy. The black cover behind the taillights on the sides just pops off, then you'll see the nuts and bolts to take out.
.........actually real self explanatory.....undo bulb harnesses and remove nuts. they should pop right out

If they are a little stuck, and after you take out all the nuts, just tap them gently from behind and they should come right out.
For the outside lamps you have to pull away the carpreting. Then just remove the 4 nuts holding it in.
For the trunk, you have to first remove the two screws holding on the black cover, then remove the 4 nuts holding that piece in.
Word of caution, the lights may just fall out so be careful that they don't drop. I also cleaned out the open area before I put in my new lights. I'm just anal that way. Keep a mental note which light goes to the brake light and turnsignal. Its just annoying when you put the wrong light in the wrong socket.
