Here are the instructions and video to get the job done.

Remove the fasteners attaching the rear license plate lamp assembly to the rear license plate lamp bezel. Lower the license plate lamp assembly from the bezel.
Rotate the license plate lamp bulb assembly counterclockwise and remove it from the housing. Pull the license plate lamp bulb out of the bulb socket. Here is a diagram (below) on how to do it on your car
