I just take the two center tail lights lenses out, then stick my hand in through the center lenses hole and change the outer bulbs.

By the way, are those early round tail light lenses supposed to be a little loose when you push on them? I've gotten mine tightened down all the way, but when you push on them, it still feels like they have a little play in them. It could just be the bumper flexing.
