Check your owner's manual. We just did my wife's 2008, and there was a diagram in the manual that showed how to pull this off (Yours may be different).



On the 2008, with the tailgate opened, there are three narrow slots between the black plastic cowl inside the door jamb and the actual tail light assembly. You put a blade screwdriver in each of these, one at a time, %26quot;with a piece of electrical tape on it to prevent scratching,%26quot; and gently pry the cowl off. This exposes some screws that you remove to release the tail light assembly from the car. Once that's done you can see where you twist the plastic bulb holder to release it from the light assembly. Replace the bulb, re-install the holder in the assembly, re-attach the assembly to the car and the cowl to the assembly, and you're done.How do I change the rear turn signal bulb in a 1999 Subaru Legacy wagon?
There is a tall and narrow removable access panel just inside, just behind the tail light assembly. The bulbs are easily found and remove with a quarter twist counter clockwise.
