It is a known problem. To get to the light, remove the trunk lid liner. Once you unplug the harness, there is a retaining nut holding a white nylon lock piece. Removing that nut and lock piece lets you remove the light.
If you are lucky, the retaining tab on the light housing has simply slipped out of its place (a slot on the trunk lid). You can actually take a large screwdriver and gently tweak the opening of the slot to grab the tab a little more. Reassemble and enjoy the fact that it doesn't pop out anymore.
If you are unlucky, you get to replace the light housing (used about $50 on eBay). When you reinstall the new one, do the tweak described above.
If you have only had this problem on one side, fix it on both sides when you have the liner out! I had to replace one of mine, but was able to fix one without replacing.
