Default GS300 brake light bulb removal: help

I can't find my manual. I removed the nuts on the screws on the inside, but the tail light won't budge. I then see two screws to the left of the light, but they are in super tight and I wonder if I am even supposed to remove those. Why is it so hard to just change a bulb? :Wtf:

For real man, You should have been able to fashion a screw drive with the force of a 1200PSI drill with just a toothpick, a strand or hair and a paper clip.
