Can someone guide me on rear tail light removal

A light went out in the lense that's in the trunk itself. Is there online instructions for simple things like this so I don't have to visit dealership? Or maybe someone in here has had to change the lights out themselves where you could briefly explain? Got the end cap off and located 1 torx screw. Pried a little but not risking breaking the lense of course.
Thank you

I recall when I switched my coupe to Euro Tail lights I had to remove the bonnet liner on the inside (push pins) to access either 1 or 2 more screws to remove and disconnect. You'll need to pry out the close switch and the light and disconnect. Be careful as both ot the plug ins for those are close or the same and easy to mix up.
