At the rear of the lamp is a square black plastic cover held on by a single Phillips screw (I think Americans may call them star screws?).Squeeze the sides gently to release the tabs. Next is a rubber boot that has three wires passing through it. gently prise this off with your fingers and gently slide it back along the wires. There is 2x Phillips screws securing the bulb holder. remove these then pull the entire bulb and holder backwards. Carefully push the back part against the globe and turn slightly. This will release the bayonet retainer. The globe will then be free to fall out. The bulb is a Stanley 12Volt 30/30w.

The parts of a light bulb are the glass envelope, mixture of inert gases at a lower pressure, and a screw cap. Inside of the light bulb is the coiled tungsten filament, support wires, glass fuse enclosure, connecting wires, and the electrical contact.
The marker lights and brake lights run on two different circuits, and usually light up two different filaments on the bulb. If both tail lights are out, either a fuse is blown, a wire is compromised, or both marker light filaments on the bulbs are broken.
tail light bulbs has two filaments inside. One for regular lights and a second for brake lights. One filament is burnt out. Change the bulb.
Something you may not realise is that the brake light bulb is often one bulb with two elements. One of the elements will be for the brake and the other will be for the tail lighting for example so,when tested, the actual bulb will still light up because the second element is unaffected. Make sure that the 'blown' bulb that you are actually changing is not in fact your fog lamp. This will not automatically light up when you test your lights as you have to operate this light separately (similarly to indicator lights). So the fog lamp bulb will appear to be the only one not lit up when you test your lights. Find the bulb with two elements inside and change that one. Sounds obvious (and may be obvious to many) but it's a common mistake. Hope this helps!.
Tail lights-- You have to unscrew the three bolts inside the hatch, pull the tail light toward you, then turn the bulb at the top. Third brake light-- You have to take (4) screws out of the plastic trim around the top of the hatch inside. Then remove the plastic trim and turn whichever bulb is burnt out and replace it.
