2010 R56 3rd Brake Light Question

I have a single bulb out in 3rd brake light on my R56 and I know it's a reason for a bored cop to pull me over. I found the whole light as I can't just replace the bulb (I'll link it below).

http://new.minimania.com/part/G2NMX5...Mini-Cooper--S

My Question(s):

Has anyone had to replace this before? Is it easy? I know it clips in but is there a plug for the wires or will I need to solder wires? My last question (bare with me), is the trim piece easy to remove to access the light?

Thanks!
