remove them by removing the covers and unbolting all of the screws after you un-plug the wiring harness

WOW how about all of them that are holding the fixture to the car?

I think you should leave the repairs to more qualified people if you cannot figure out how to remove 3 or so bolts from the housing (one on each corner).

If its the tail lamp on the outside...

Taillights
Open the trunk lid and pull back the trunk side trim.

Disconnect the 6P connector (A) from the taillight (B).

Remove the four mounting nuts (C), then pull out the taillight (B).

NOTE:

Inspect the gasket: replace it if it is distorted or stays compressed.

After installing the taillights, run water over them to make sure they do not leak.
