This is very easy. Open the trunk, remove the panel where the bulbs are
mounted, this doesn't require unscrewing, then unscrew the main plastic
unit. Do the reverse for the new ones. Oh, Hella does tinted (as well as the
stock un-tinted) OEM taillights in blue, green, and black, many times
available through the dealer but you can find them cheaper in any 3rd party
accessory shop.
