I have taken my taillights out before, but not the part that connects to the trunk. You just need to remove the beige liner in the trunk using a screwdriver and then use a socket to remove the remaining nuts holding the taillights in. I believe it should be just as easy for the tail lights attached to the trunk as well.
Next to the tail light should be a black plastic area with two circles with tabs on it. Pop the circles out and remove the bolt behind them and the tail light assembly comes right off.
