I have a 1997 wagon. I don't know if the 1991 works the same, but I can tell you how the 1994-7 tail lights are replaced.

The taillight assembly needs to be removed to replace the lights. The taillight assembly is held on by two screws/bolts, which are located right next to the tailgate inside the hatch, and two pins, which are on the side.

There are two tricks involved. First, you have to open the tailgate and remove the access panels next to the tailgate. This should give you access to the screws, which you remove.

Second, you can't see the pins. These are pointed sideways (i.e. 90 degrees from the direction the bolts screw in). Thus, you need to pull the taillight assembly sideways (i.e. away from the car to the side) to remove it - and avoid breaking the pins.

It's actually pretty easy to do, once you figure out the tricks. The light can be easily popped out once you have pulled the taillight away from the side.

One of the lights in the tailgate or in the corner of the body?

They body tail lights are the same as the sedans/coupes. You do not need to remove these if you are replacing just a bulb.
The tail gate lights however are a little different. I do not own a wagon so i cannot confirm if they need to be removed to replace the bulbs but the sedan and coupes allow you to replace them while still attached to the car.

I see that you want to replace the entire assembly. You must disconnect the wiring and remove the nuts holding them on. I want to say they are 10 or 12mm. If they have not been removed in over 20 years they may need a nudge or pull to remove them. I recently took mine off to drain out the water because i constantly have the "brake lamp" dash indicator on even though my brakes all work.

hello fellow wagon owner!

ok, so i replaced the gasket for my tailights using the craft foam tutorial on here, and it's worked great. the outer wagon tail lights have 4 bolts. two of them are located next to where the bulbs go, behind the panels. (if you need photos let me know) two other bolts are located behind the plastic trim in the car. i am embarrased to admit this, but i had no idea how to get that plastic interior crap off and wound up busting mine. BUT after that i as able to unscrew the other two bolts and pop the new gaskets on and clean off 20+ years of crap built up.
