I just have to replace my reverse light and im stuck on getting my taillight off. If anyone can help me on where its getting stuck at that would be great. I took the 2 screws off the top of it already and it seems to be stuck on the bottom, thanks. Also since i dont know what kind of a seal is inside yet i figured i might as well ask while im here, the reverse light section is building up water anyone know a quick fix for that if not that's ok im sure ill remedy something up when i get it off :D
 






after you take the 2 screws off the top just pull hard strait out. It will come right out.
 






thanks i didn't want to break it by pulling on it if that wasn't how it was supposed to go
 






it will sound bad when you are taking it off, but it's just the plastic post things coming out. it's not a bad idea to put vaseline on the plastic posts before you put it back in. this will help when taking the lights on and off so that they don't break in the future.
