Quick look in haynes, says you have to take the cluster off. Looks like standard twisty connectors in there then.
Only looks like a few screws.

1 or 2 screw's down the side of the light between the light and boot seal (with the boot open) then a wing nut type thing in the back of the light just under the side shelf that the parcel shelf sits on maybe behind a flap of carpet.

from what i can remember, there are only 2 plastic screw things that hold the lamps in place

but some clusters have a little clipped in thing that you can remove with the bulbs in like the sierras do, but i think it's the whole thing you need to get out to change it

easy, remove the cluster.

theres a plastic nut in the boot you undo by hand and a screw on the outside, then give it a wiggle
