u mean the rear license plate light???

2 small screws hold it, it's literally right above the license plate. Replace it with a t10 LED, much better than stock. Go on ebay and get it.

This might sound rough BUT, Come on, You have time to post here on how to do it but you dont have 10 seconds to look at the light to see how it attaches?

Yeah, a relatively simple thing to figure out !!!
Ya may want to consider downloading a copy of the service manual to help ya decide if the task at hand is within your skill level. If ya don't have the time, find a handy friend or trustworthy local shop to help ya. Hey, sometimes the auto parts guys will help ya out.
