After you remove the two screws in the back panel, the have to pull the assembly. The best way for me to describe it is, you have to move to the side of the truck and pull the assemble towards you. You cannot pull it straight back. There are two pins that allow the light cover to be secured against the back of the truck. One pin is towards the top, the other pin is towards the bottom. I used a screwdriver to GENTLY help me pop the pin inserts out.
Twist out the bulb assembly.

Pull out the bulb

Insert the new bulb

Twist back in the bulb assembly

Place the pins over the pin holes in the light cover mold on the side of the truck

Push in gently

replace screws and you are done.
