Question How to remove taillight

I need to remove taillight lens to access wiring so that I can wire my topper brake light. I removed 2 screws but the lens would not release, I don't want to force it but cannot see any more screws. This is a 2003 150 Sport. Any advice would be appreciated.

You got the two screws from inside the tailgate opening I am assuming. Lens should just snap in from there so just grip firmly and pull it out of the seats of the clips.

Yeah, you really got to pull on it to get it to release. I think if you pull it with a little bit of an angle (away from the bed) it will be easier.

From one old geezer to another: those two screws mentioned above are the only screws. I know because I dropped one of them down inside fender (never would get it out). Good luckl!
