The rear deck is in 2 halves. You have to remove the half closest to the backseat to get access to remove the light, but to remove that piece, you have to remove the backs of the backseats!

I'm stubborn... I must find a way to get it off.
I know there's a simple way of taking it off. Supposedly, you just push on it and it comes off. I tried finding a button or some kind of mechanism to press but nada. Somebody has to know how to do this.

I personally wouldn't advise popping the light on & off to clean. Do it enough, or bend something the wrong way and you'll end up weakening / wearing down the way it attaches and have (at least for me) a very annoying rattle on your back deck lid. I know it also sounds like you're not planning on pulling it off permananetly, but if you did I suspect a 'bulb out' indicator would appear on your dash (it does on the 2GS).
Try something like this to get behind it

All cars in the US prior to 1985 are grandfathered from the 3rd brake light law. I recall this odd fact because my family bought a 1984 Toyota Camry that came without the 3rd light but the year after ours did.
