Default Need Help ASAP

Does anybody have some advice for removing the rear license plate light? I'm in the process of removing my rear bumper and can't find a way to disconnect this light. Thanks a lot guys!

They are not bolts, but push clips. Screwdriver tip in that slot, pop up the center and out it comes.

Yeah I've been prying at it with a flathead for some time but it's just stuck. My friend just recommended that I heat it so I'm going to give that a try right now.

Just cut it with some dikes from the underside. They are cheap at the dealer ship.

Try prying from the other side (towards the front of the car)

Now I need to remove the rear license plate light. Thanks for your help Stratocaster! I ended up wedging the flat head into the clip and then started rotating the flathead until it made a gap in the clip. After that I just pulled it out using the gap (took a while though).

If I remember, it just clips in. Push it towards the inside of the bumper while lifting up. There is two catches on the light and two holes in the bumper. One on each side.
