Remove the pins holding the trunk trim, middle and sides, only the part allowing you to reach inside to get to the lights. Its quite a logical progression, not hard at all for beginner.
But you need a 8mm long drive socket, for the middle lights. The others are reachable with normal adjustable wrench.
Unplug and replug.
Quite simple, just need the 8mm long drive or you'll be stuck.

I Just Change Mine Yesterday And It Was Very Easy. They Are Not Screws , Look Like Them But They Are Plastic Ones That Snap In And Split Inside So First You Need To Do Is Get A Pliers And Pull The Screw Out And Then pull it all together.
