Default 92-96 ES300 (93 specifically) removing 3rd brake light

Hey guys, I've been trying for a few hours now to try and get the 3rd light off. My understanding from other posts on here is that it just needs to be pulled straight off, but i can't seem to do this and it feels like its going to break. Has anyone done this to their ES before?

I thought the same thing when I removed mine to replace the bulbs.
Here are a couple of helpful threads on the subject:

Using something (two of them, actually) with a hook on it to slide under the front corners of the housing and then pull forward is the easiest way to go. It may be stubborn but will eventually come loose from the two clips that hold it in place.

finally got it off! after 4 people helped me try, someone got it off. it does pull off and it feels like your going to break it the whole time. when i'm done i'm going to put up a big diy on installing a stereo in the 92-96 ones. with lots of pics
