Thanks Papa. I did finally figure it out. I opened the trunk, pulled the anchors out of the sound insulation / liner of the trunk behind the light, and pulled the insulation away. This exposed 2 small bolts (one with a grounding wire exposed). I removed the bolts and the light housing came loose but not free. I had to force 2 plastic anchors to free up the light housing. Replacing the bulb was a snap. Then, putting it back was a little more difficult because one of the plastic anchors was attached to a loose fitting which kept falling off as I tried to replace it. But, I finally succeeded. Thanks for you help!
