Taillight removal, 93 R1
I'm moving the last few body panels between my two shells, and I'm having problems removing the taillights. I have the two top screws out, but they seem to be clipped to the frame by 3 clips each. The problem is, I can't figure out how the clips work. How do you get the taillights off?

Roughly where are these screws?
I saw several screws on the housing, but I don't remember seeing any where the actual body metal is, but I may be mistaken.

They're not on the lights themselves. With the hatch open, and standing in front of the lights, there's a small triangular piece/panel that covers the back of the headlight housing, and extends a tiny bit into the actual trunk space. If you bend over and look at the back of the tailight, you'll see the end of that triangular panel actually is labeled, and says "Open." Pull on it, and pull that triangular panel off (there should also be a rope attached to it, as you pull the tab). You'll then see the 3 screws.
Again, like Yellow Man said, make sure you pull the tailights to the SIDE (right tailight to the right, and left tailight to the left). If you pull them BACK, you'll break the tabs on them. Pull them to the SIDE.
