Found it

this is the left rear light if your facing the front of the car

Lift the circled part (it will only lift about 5mm) stick a flat head screw driver in the slot and push the metal clip in (toward the back of the car)

To sum up, stick a flathead perpendicular to the end of the light. Push the screwdriver inwards, pull the light downwards.
