Default HOW TO REMOVE REAR LIGHT CLUSTER 04 WRX?

recently i've experienced water leaking into my boot and gathering by spare wheel. searching through forums i read that water leaking through rear lights is a common fault and just needs removal and resealing. are these easy to remove? anyone done this, or had similar problem?

Not on the new age, more than likely the boot seal where it bends in and then down to the boot closure. OR the spoiler mounting holes.

But to get the lights out its just undo the nuts and gentle ease out. You will see there is no sealant, just a weather strip/foam. The chassis pretty much mitigates water from finding a route through this way.
