I don't know if the '99 is similar to the '94, but on the '94 I opened the reer lift gate, unscrewed about 3 bolts (all are visible around the edges of the light housing), and the whole light assembly came out. Then the bulbs popped out kind of like a headlight bulb. Usually you just have to poke around for the bolts. If it doesn't come out easily, there's another bolt or screw hiding somewhere.

Let us know if this works.

You're right, there are 2 phillips head screws on the sid when you open the liftgate. Remove the screws and the whole tail light unit comes out with a twist to the side. Very easy to replace bulbs.
