Removing Tail Lights

Hey Guys!

I want to replace my reverse lights but I'm having some trouble removing the tail lights. I removed the 3 nuts and tried hammering at the bolts to get the tail lights out but to no avail.

Does anyone know if there is there an extra nut holding the tail light in? or am I just pulling/hammering wrong? I know the coupe and sedan has 3 nuts so I just assumed the convertible has 3 nuts as well

Thanks in advance!!

there are the 3 nuts you mention, but then they are held in very tight with clips. it takes a very hard tug on the outside top corner to really get them to come out. It is more difficult because you can't really get your fingers under the edge of the lights that well. Uploading a picture now. Where the tip of my finger is are the top outside corner on the car.

Phew... Got it out! I just pulled hard on the inside part of the tail lights and popped right off. Definitely much easier than I thought.

THanks GUys
