Tail Light Lense Trick

I give up, what's the trick to getting my left
rear tail light lense off? I have a burned out back up bulb, and while I succeeded in taking out the 2 screws, I am afraid I'm going to break something trying to get the lense on out to replace the bulb. Please Help !?!?!?

They are very tight to get out of the clips, so just keep wiggling and pulling and it will pop free!

Thanks

Thanks, I'll try it again in the daylight tomorrow. Afraid to break one of those puppies these days, betting $250-plus for a Job#1 over the counter replacement ...

When you go to put it back on, put a small dab of grease on those pins for "next time"!

If it does go...Don't panic too bad. I had to replace mine, (I know...mine is a 99), but I was surprised at the $35 price at the dealer.
