The tail lights on one side are burned out. I bought new bulbs to replace the burned out ones. How do I access the bulb assembly to remove and replace the old bulbs?

Based on which ones are bad, makes a difference. If they are in the trunk lid section, you will need to remove the entire light assembly from in the trunk. If it is the side lights in the rear, remove the carpet from behind the light assembly. There should be something similar to a wing nut holding it in place. Once removed, you will then either have access to the light socket or again you will need to unbolt the light assembly (which I think you will need to do) to access the socket.

Let me know if you have other questions.
