Tail light removal?

Hi, i've read some of the posts about repairing moisture in the tail lights, and know there's a recent Mazda bulletin that says it's 'normal.' However, i'd still like to drill some bottom holes to get rid of the moisture. I wonder if anyone can let me know how to remove the tail light from the car to do this easily. Thanks!

Dry out your tails and get a new gasket(s). They are not expensive. Holes are not the best solution.

Dry out your tails and use silicone sealant.

Thanks! That is very helpful. I'll try it with a new gasket first.
