Default how to install tail light in honda accord 03

i busted the driver side tail light on my honda accord 03 and am trying to install a new one myself. I was able to move the lining from the trunk and unscrew the bolts and unplug the lights but am having trouble pulling out the busted tail light. Is there any other screws that i need to remove, etc?

I've never removed an 03 tail, but take a look at the tail you're putting in. Look for mouting brackets or screw holes, then try to find that on the busted one.

There are mounting brackets on the bottom of the tail light. How can i remove the tail light when i don't have room to lift it out?
