I have to replace one of my bulbs. I imagine I have to take out the fasteners of the trunk liner and the manual would take it from there, it doesn't look that hard.

Without using a dremel or some type of sawing tool I think it's impossible to use heat and open the seal.

These taillights cannot be opened up without breaking them. No one has successfully done it, including myself.

I changed my taillight bulbs this past weekend. It was a peace of cake.
There are three or two fasteners in the trunck behind the taillight. Just remove the fasteners and pry the material that lies behind the taillight.
That's how I took out mines.
