Autozone...
Or are you asking how to get to them? In the talon, you have to go in through the hatch... there's little "doors" that open up and you just take them out.

If it's the Eclipse back like in the pic, I believe you go under the rear bumper to get to them. Either that or you use a screw driver to pop them out.

There are 2 screws (IIRC, might be 1) that hold in each of the reverse lights, you'll see once you look at them. Just take out the screws, pop out the casings, replace the lights, and put them back in. Be careful though, if they're both out then you might have a wiring problem....
