Brake light on 95 Continental

How do I get to replacing the driver side brake light? Do I have to take all the carpet off the underside of the trunk?

Rear Lamp/Stoplight
Removal and Installation:

1. From inside luggage compartment, remove lower back panel trim cover.

2. Remove rear lamp sockets from rear lamp body.

3. Remove bolts and grommet retaining rear lamp body to lower back panel. Remove rear lamp.

4. Note: Inspect rear lamp retaining bolts to make sure seal is intact or a water leak may result.

What about the brake light that is behind the rear seats (visible in the rear windshield) ?

How do I get to those lights to replace them?

Thanks,

Drew
