You have to remove it from inside the trunk. There is a piece of the body attached to the outside of the light , but just climb into the trunk through the back of the car and change your bulbs in there... if its the actual break casing, then you will have to remove it from the body, also going through the trunk.You can do it that way or just open up the trunk and pull the carpet out to expose the brakelights and twist them left or right once there out put new bulb back in fixture
