Replacing bulb in third break light - Honda Pilot

Thanks for the info, that was easy enough. While I was trying to pry off the screw covers, one of them snapped off. I guess the cold weather here made them brittle. Dealer had some for $3 so I got two of them.

In addition to replacing the bulb how do you tighten the actual spoiler? Mine has become loose and I guess from opening/closing the back door. What initially caught my attention was the gasket started hanging out from the bottom of the spoiler. I moved the spoiler up and down and it felt loose. Not exactly sure how to tighten it. I just cut the gasket so it wouldn't show and figured I'll get a new gasket and instructions from the dealer when I pick up ATF/VTM-4 fluids. The gasket also seemed old, dry and brittle so this is also why I just cut it thinking it needed to be replaced anyway.
I'm sure this is an easy fix if I knew how to access the mounting screws.
Can anyone help? How much should I expect to pay for the gasket? Don't want the dealer to try and rip me off!! I guess I'll replace the light while I have it disassembled

Thanks,
MARK
