It is very easy to do. Open up the rear hatch and look for the opening throught the cloth line nearest the brake light. Once you open that are up then you will see two bolts with washer on them. Get a pair of plyers and take off the washers. Now on the outside pull the enitre brake light out, but becareful of the wires so don't pull too hard. On the back of the light is a black casing. Take flat nose screw driver and pry at the three points holding the casing to the brake light. Once off you will need to twist the light bulbs out and then twist new ones in. The two bulbs you need is 1156. Now reattache the black casing to the brake light clipping it back at all three points securly and reattach brake light to car. Now back inside the hatch fasten washers on tightly with plyers. You're done. Very easy and you saved a lot of money. I paid $3.50 for two bulbs recently at the part dept at the dealership and saw them at wal-mart for $2.78, but they were sold out.
