Heat it up from the inside. Melts the sealent so you should be able to get it off.

I just took them off today. You took off too many. I tapped teh bolts with a hammer all the way around. I also found two that I didn't unbolt under the wires so chec for those in the top of the middle light. I used my fingers and pulled around the edges from the outside first top then sides. They slowly started to budge. I checked to make sure all of the electrical connections were unpluged (I missed one) and it slowly loosened up. the brake light sections had a huge amount of goo. This stuff is mega stringy and sticky.

I now need to figure out how to put on my new rice tail
