Default Repair Brake Light

I have a drivers outside brake light out.
How do I remove the housing to check the connection and bulb?
Thanks

When you put it back together, be careful not to allow the tab on the light to push the speed nut back into the hole, it will be hard to find if it slips out of place and falls behind.
