Ok, now there's 2 black posts with these plastic tab type things for bolts which look like they are coming IN from the light assembly. DO NOT try to remove these! These 2 posts are coming in from the outside of the car and the light assemlby actually slides onto them from the outside. So, if you have removed the 2 front screws and the one bolt inside the trunk, you are done unscrewing things and you have to sit there and juggle the light assembly up and down and if it has been awhile, it will take quite a few tries but eventually it gives way and you can lift it up and out of its position and replace your bulbs.

^Exactly, that is confirmed

Assembly itself is of "L " shape. There is nothing seems to be holding behind the two screws in the rear, ( close to the trunk door) that I removed.
It clearly feels like I can not pull the assembly out without breaking those two plastic black fictures ( in side of the car - of the L shape light assembly structure) , which is holding the assembly from side.

Those two black posts you see when pulling back the trunk lining are basically allignment pins which help with allignment of the light housing...that's all, they don't hold in the light. Wiggle the housing and pull straight back, you may have to pry slightly. Only two screws on the outside, and either a metal nut or plastic hand nut on the inside hold these lights in....trust me, I have removed them countless times.
