Subaru Outback Tail light

How do I open it up to replace a bulb?

Open the tailgate there are two screws that hold it in on the side. Haven't done it myself, but that looks like the obvious way.

No instructions in the Owner's Manual?

That's what I needed. I had unscrewed the plastic ones last night. It didn't automatically come off and I didn't want to break the damn thing.

Owners manuals never have that sort of info. They want you go pay the dealer $100 to do it for you.... Shop manual might.

Not sure I'd agree on that one...I've seen instructions on replacing tail lights in a number of Owner's manuals. Didn't help me with my recent brake light problem since the LED bulb wasn't user-serviceable but I've replaced plenty of tail lights in the past.
