Default Peel back carpet...
...remove nuts, disconnect wiring clip, remove light. Quite simple ;-) Which taillight "version" did you decide on?

Default Very easy, follow the tech article and you should be all set. If you need any rewiring, open the
connector with a flat head screw driver and use pliers to pull the wires out. Tech article says to "push" the wires out, which isn't exactly clean.
