It’s a PITA. IIRC you have to take the rear tires off and remove some panels on each side. The procedure is on the workshop manual. Not supposed to be owner- serviceable but you can do it.

The manual covers removing the entire "high mounted" stoplight ass'y; it doesn't discuss changing the bulb inside...maybe the whole ass'y is replaced. If I ever dig into it I'll try to put an LED light in there for long life, but mine's working for now.
 
There is an LED light already in a 2005. The 2002 shows an incandescent bulb. Not sure if 2003-4 have LEDs also. The 2005 on may be a direct replacement for the 2002 CMSL.
