+1 ^^^ what tommy said. Most likely bulb or bulb retainer.

This video shows how to remove the entire light assy but you can simply remove the bulb retainer (the component with the traces) from inside the trunk.

This particular video is for a 987 but the 986 is very similar and you'll get the idea of what we're talking about.
