If you mean the rear tail light lens assy, following is procedure.
1) Pull back interior trunk side trim cover
2) Release electrical connector to lens assy.
3) Access the nuts that retain the lens assy. If you are careful you can remove all the nuts w/ very little trim removal, while being careful not to drop them. I use a flex extension and small socket w/ paper towel to "jam-lock" the nut in the socket and prevent the nut from dropping out of the socket.
If you remove the lens, a new lens gasket may be a good investment to prevent future trunk leaks.
good luck

to be honest with you, i don't think you should even bother taking the tail lamps apart.. its very difficult and time consuming.. and to factor the costs of your time, extra set of tail lamps, and the chance of you breaking it is too high of a risk to take...
if you do decide on doing it, the way people have taken them apart is by backing them in the oven to soften the glue... sorry, i don't know what degree they bake them in.. try looking here https://acurazine.com/forums/search.php?searchid=287229 good luck~!
