just look underneath, there should be a small hole for a philips screw driver..

unscrew the single screw, and the LED bar should pop right out..

Don't think you can do it very easily. I helped take apart a Camry's LED bar and it was glued together, so we cut the plastic with a knife, and bits flew off, it was a big mess..

but we siliconed it back shut when we were done fixing it, and it's been fine since..

If it's like other tail lights, there is some adhesive holding the lens to the housing, and you have to either bake it in the oven for a few minutes or use a heat gun and carefully pry the lens (read: CAREFULLY). As it warms up, it will slowly peel apart. Be patient and try not to melt the lens or housing!
