is it really that easy ? do i have to remove any of the covering inside the trunk area? the new part is $180. local junkyard was 80. got it on the web from a parts store in CA. for $15 and only 12 bucks for shipping. it comes tomorrow morning. yay

Yep. Just carefully pull back the covering and you'll see the two nuts. Take them out, pull the one side out and then the assembly away. Putting it in is just the reverse. Nice and easy.

thanks "cykaara" . i saw the 2 phillips head screws onthe on the of the piece when i open the trunk. there are also 2 more behind that covering ?

There's just two nuts on the inside if the trunk. Take them off, and you can take the whole assembly out. The corner just fits in by way of a pin into a plastic retainer for it. Once off, just remove the light harness and it'll be off.
