It's rather easy, takes about 5 minutes.

Open the trunk, look at the top part on the inside, take out the plastic cap screws, about 7 or 8 of them, and then slowly just take off the carpet lining. You'll see the bulbs, and then replace them and put the carpet lining back in.

I haven't had problems with mine yet. And I think other people on the board have done it also.

Best of luck.
