1999 Honda Odyssey

Is there a trick to removing the rear brake light housing without damaging the car or the housing itself once I have removed the two screws? The directions in the Owner's Manual instruct the reader to remove two screws and simply pull the housing towrd the rear of the car. But the housing seems to get stuck when I try to slide it out. Is there a screw or something there that should be addressed? Or do I ignore that and just pull harder? I sure don't want to damage anything.

Hi pauled99,

The taillights are plugged iinto the body and you need to pull harder to get the clips off after removing the 2 screws.
