How to change 3rd taillight on 97 Civic Hatchback?

    I have a 97 Civic Hatchback.

    The 3rd tail light (on the spoiler) is dead and
    I need to figure out how to change the bulb.
    According to the service manual, there are 2
    screws holding the lens on, but I can't figure out
    how to get to them. There are two holes on
    either side of the red lens but these don't
    seem to have screws in them.

    Can anyone give me a pointer?

    Maybe you can't see the bolt because is cover with dirt.

    I just did this in a 2000 HB (same chasis) and there are 2 screws where the
    manual states but they're recessed pretty far. I was scared of having them
    fall into oblivion so use a magnetic screwdriver and be careful.
