2003 Ford Explorer tail light assembly

Good Morning. I need to replace the left (drivers side) rear tail light assembly on my neighbors 2003 Ford Explorer which I accidently smashed. I have no idea how to remove the old assembly, and install the new. Can anyone provide a how to, or perhaps a diagram. I need to do this today, so any quick response will be greatly appreciated

There should be a access panel from within the trunk area of the Explorer. Remove this access panel and you should see that the assembly is just bolted on with a wiring harness attached.

Remove these bolts/wing nuts and the assembly will just pull out.

OPen the rear hatch, in the jamb there will be two phillips head screws that hold the tailamp in, remove the screws and pull the assembly straight out.
