Rear tail lights

Is it easy to take out and install rear tail lights?

I have. Remove trunk liner/carpet around the tail lights, disconnect harness plugs, remove 3-4(I forget how many exactly) nuts and it pops out. The nuts, I think, are 10mm. It's been a while, but it's easy.

I have a 2009 coupe. On the right side, you remove the storage shelf over the battery, on the left there is the liner which you just pull off. On mine there are no screws, you just press on a center clip and the bulb assembly comes out.

Was just thinking. Are you getting repeated warnings about a light being out? If so, change the bulb first and if if the warning comes back, you likely have a faulty socket bracket assembly (the aluminum thing that holds all of the bulb sockets). Very common. Cheap to buy OEM and very easy to replace.

Very Easy. Just open the trunk and undo the lights.
