Tail Light Removal on 2006

I am going to smoke my tail lights. Can someone post on how to take out the tail lights on the RX8? I have a 2006.

Thanks in advance.

Do I go in from the trunk? -- I'm always afriad of taking something apart without knowing how it's attached -- that's how I start breaking stuff

I'll add a 'thanks' as well. I am having to replace one of my taillights, and am afraid of breaking things as well.

Replaced my left tail light today, and was super quick and easy. I was lucky enough to find one on ebay for $60 shipped. Saved me quite a bit of money (luckily).
