The good news is that this is probably the easiest job on the entire car. The OM shows how to do it - just take a 10mm socket and remove the two bolts on the inside of the tail light (when you open the rear bonnet) and the tail light slides right out towards the rear.

I forget the exact bulb, but you'll see the number on it when you remove it. They might be in the OM as well. Pep Boys has a great selection of bulbs - the exact brand and model that is called for.

Fwiw, they're so cheap that I just replaced all of them when I did this a few months ago. Only a couple bucks each.
