1 philips head screw near the middle of the back of the car on each light. Then you can either pull it straight off the back (might break clips) or push them off to the side.
there is also a plastic trim piece with 2 philips screws on the top of each light but you don't need to remove them.

Re: Removing Tail Lights...
Remove the screws along the top. Then pull. Pull so hard you think you're going to break it. Little clips are tough buggers. I thought I was going to break mine and got scared. After getting pissed off it's amazing how things just pop off.

Re: Removing Tail Lights...
NOTICE: You DO need to unscrew the top pieces, and the screws to the inside of the lights, if you don't want to break anything. Then it's fairly easy to push them to the outsides of the car, and pop them out.

It's kind of like on a cooking show... all the tedious stuff is already done so the viewers don't have to wait & watch.
