You have a sedan, correct? I think this should be in the sedan forum, not the coupe forum.

not 100% sure on this, but go in the trunk then peal back the material lining the trunk behind hte tail light, then unbolt it, then the light bulbs will come right out

Yes, you have to remove the taillights from the car in order to change the bulbs.

yes that's correct. I've done it personally. It's simple...like 3-4 screws you'll see after peeling back the trunk carpet and then the assembly falls off into your hands. Simply undo the wire/back and replace your bulbs.

Can't really confirm thats the right bulb however I checked the tech manual and the wattage is exactly the same, so you're probably right.
