Question Hi-mount brake light

Is there a trick to get the hi-mount brake light out of the cab? The light is not working. I removed the 2 screws which hold it to the cab, but I can only pull the light out about 3/4 inch. I am afraid to pull too hard and break it.

I have tried shifting the light left and right, but to no avail. I read on another forum that on some post 90"s model vehicles that a burned out hi-mount light can cause the cruise not work. The cruise on my truck is not working. Anybody had this experience?
Thanks,
Clava

Had to change mine a month ago it was kinda gummy from the weatherstrip had to pull hard but came out wiggle pull, wiggle pull repeat as nec

Never had the problem with the cruise though.

Good Luck
