Don't force it, there are clips on the backside that you have to pinch to be able to remove it. I'd take pics but it's dark out. See if you can find the clips I'm talking about, report back if you can't find'em.

yeah they can be pretty tight...you have to hit it with the palm of your hand towards the outside of the car.

I actually thought the hardest part was putting the lights back in, i got worried about snapping the clips in the other direction towards the front of the car.

you dont have to touch the clips. just push the assembly away from the car.
