I can't figure out how to get the plastic casing off of the light to change the bulb. There is one screw on the right side to take out, there's no others I can see. It looks like maybe something that snaps on, but I don't want to force it off cause I don't want to break anything. Can someone help me out?

Open the trunk.
Remove the trim cover attaching screws. (one on side, one in center)
Carefully pry off the tail light trim covers.
Remove the bulb socket from the light assembly by turning it counterclockwise 1 / 4 of a turn.
To remove the bulb, carefully pull it straight out of the socket.
Installation is the reverse of the removal procedure.
