i got the two screws out, but pulling on the light wouldn't get it to come out, it seemed to be attached somewhere in the middle. didin't want to hurt it, so i didn't pull to hard.

true

yeah pple usually want what they dont have ..funny how that works out ...BUT I'll post the pics of how the tail light is attached to the car so you can see where it's attached and which angle to pull it so it doesnt give you a hard time ... but just to give you a hint there is a plug that holds in the corner of the tail lights to the side part of the car opposite the two screws.. that snaps in and out if you pry w/ a screw driver or dig in w/ your fingers and pull straight back the light should come on out..but like i said i'll post pics
