If you open the hatch, you'll see some flimsy lookin carpet stuff, right on the other side of the tail light. I dont know the proper termonology for what it's called. But if you pull that back, you'll see some good sized wingnuts. Just unscrew them (there's like 4 or 5, not sure), and the tail light should just come right off.
