Hi
I got the dim and brake light not working at the driver side rear. I opened the cover from the boot but it look like I can not change the light from there. Could anyone know how the easy way to change the lights? any special tool needs?

You are right to take off the covers because you do change them from inside the boot.
Each bulb is inside a plastic holder that locks into the lens from the back.
To undo you have to turn the holder about a quarter of a turn and it unlocks and will come out. I found it hard to get my big hands in as room is very tight, so used a really large flat bladed screwdriver in the body of the holder to undo it and make sure it didn't fall off and down into the lens.
Hope that helps.:)
 
Thanks, its done. but it was very difficult to reach and put it back. Thanks for your advice to use the flat tool to open it.
