Eyeball the new part. It should show you how it is mounted. Should have
mounting holes for screws on the backside. Those panels inside the car do
come out. Sorry I can't be more specific but never changed a Subaru
taillight although I did one for my wife's Saturn. On it I had to work
from inside the car.

You got me there. What do you mean by "..broke all the plastic out of
my taillights.."?
AFAIK the rear light assembly is a pretty well sealed unit and one
cannot remove the plastic, (without trashing it).
To change a bulb just remove the panel behind the assembly from the
inside, then a half turn anticlockwise and the bulb holder comes out
so's you can change the bulb.

Thanks all, I finally got it done.
But I had to take a bunch of stuff off from inside the car. I will
never back up into anything
again!
