I don't know, but there is an 09 Service Manual you can access here on the forum.

There's a third bolt (nut actually) on the back of the taillight that you need to remove. To get to it you have to remove a lot more plastic starting with the hatch seal. Just keep going until you see the nut on the backside of the taillight area.

One person to hold the bulb while 25 people turn the car in place. At least that is how they do it at the dealerships so they can charge an arm and a leg....
