How does one get into the tail light assembly so that they can replace
the bulb?  It seems that there are two or three plastic screws behind
the tail light - do these hold the assembly in place, and is it as
simple of a matter as unscrewing those screws?  I just want to be
certain before I start - I am always worried that I'll mess things up
worse than if I'd done nothing at all. :-)
