I got some new bulbs (3157) that I want to swap in to the rear stop lights. The problem is, I can not figure out how to remove the housing, or get to the rear of it to change the bulb. I found the two Torx bolts, and removed them but it didnt want to budge, and I didnt want to pull on the housing too hard and break it. If anyone is wondering, I got some LED bulbs that are supposed to be brighter, I dont want to get rear ended in this vehicle, the only damage should be trail rash... which I got my first of this weekend, a cracked windshield & front turn signal... stupid trees jumping out from the side of the trail at me.
Thanks.

Hi Sean,

Once the two torx bolts are out, the light housing pulls straight back. Pull and wiggle it a bit and it will come out. It's hard to get out the first time.
