I replaced the bulb 6 months ago. (Body shop pounding/sanding vibrations must have broken the filament when they were fixing damage to the rear hatch).
As I recall, the main thing is to pop the interior panel (or was it panels?) off the rear hatch near where the bulb is. They're held in place by plastic pop fasteners that take quite a bit of pressure to pop out. Strong fingers help. I broke one or two of the fasteners when I popped them out, but maybe with practice I wouldn't have. I got replacements at the dealer when I got the replacement bulb.
Once you get the panel off, it is obvious.
