Stop Light Burnt Out

My right side stop light has burnt out, how do I fix this? I know buy a bulb lol but how do I get to them?

My car is a 2000

I believe you have to take the tail light fixture off from the car. Get into the trunk, and pull back the carpeting behind the tail light. There should be some big black plastic thumb screws there, (4 on my car, a 98), then just gently pull the housing away from the car and you should be able to get to the bulbs. To reinstall, just work backwards.

Can someone with a 99+ confirm this, as I haven't changed a bulb in a 5th gen ina long time.

Well, I was able to remove the actual thing off the car, with it held by wires. There seems to be some sort of clamp to pop off, is that where it is?
