Default Replacing tag lights

So, I got pulled over last week for my tag lights being out, and the guy gave me a "fix-it" ticket with the deadline coming up soon. I got the bulbs, but how do I go about installing them? Do I just take the lenses off with a screwdriver or do I go in through the trunk?

Two screws on either side of the bulb and your done. Takes 2 minutes. They are plastic (the screws) if I remember correctly so be gentle.

I tried getting the screws out, but it seemed like no matter how long I stood there turning them, they wouldn't make any progress. You're talking about the screws outside the trunk above the plate right?

there in the trunk!! no screws needed, just pop the trunk and look at were the wires go in. All u have to do is twist them out and unplug and replace.
