You'll likely have to pop the plastic trim around the bottom of the trunk opening (clips, should pull right off), then peel back the liner and you should have 3x 10mm nuts holding the lens assembly in place. Once those are off the whole lamp should pop loose, you might need to nudge the bolts attached to the lamp to crack it loose from the inside.

My car you just twist off those black screws outside the liner. Then pull back the liner and you will have 2 more 10mm nuts to remove. Unplug and then pop the lights out. Pretty easy.
