I hope i'm not repeating an old question, i did a quick search and found nothing. Can anyone help me here? I unscrewed the left and right screws at each end of the light (on the inside) but i don't want to just pull it up with a flathead. Are there any other screws or anything or do i just stick a flathead under it now? Thanks

There are a few clips that hold the brake light in. I believe there are four, but I am not positive because it has been about a year since I did mine. With these clips, try and get a needle-nose plier in there to depress the clips and then pull slightly on the brake light. It is very hard to take the brake light off without breaking it, but it can be done.

Yeah i got the first one off but it took so long i ended up ripping the damn thing off. So much stress over such a little thing. Anyways, the new one looks great; all i need is some JDM's woot.
