Any hints or how-to's for replacing taillight assembly?

I am replacing the right rear (passenger side) taillight assembly. A mental grrrr! resulted in the top third getting shattered, and a new assembly should arrive this week. I'm hoping to do the replacement myself, so any hints or how-to's would be appreciated.

pull the little square interior trim panel off, unbolt all the 8mm nuts(look at new light to verify quantity and location), unplug the tail light and remove...........reinstall in reverse.

Thanks for the reply, I was thinking I would be doing a lot more disassembly work and I'm glad for your note. After comparing that with the arrived part, the swap was (relatively) painless with a minimum of contortion.
Start to finish about 30 min.

Even got a fair deal on the part itself, after a bit of research I found Westgate Auto Parts (http://www.westgateautoparts.com/) and had the part, OEM new in box for $210 delivered in about 3 days. Chrysler wanted $340, $600 installed and had to order the part, 1 week min delivery.
Yeah Chrysler Dealers!!
