it's quite simple. remove the covers in the boot, and look for a 10mm nut on a longish bolt. Remove the bolt, then feel around for some clips on the far side of the light, after that, they pop out.

I had my taillights out recently in order to add trailer wiring and became annoyed that they were held in with locknuts. I now have a wingnut holding each of mine in. Makes them much easier to remove next time.
