Default 5th gen taillight removal

This is kind of a noob question and I checked out the search button, but can anyone help me with taking the taillights off a 5th gen. There are four screws with nuts, three of which I could get off, the fourh is covered with a plastic cover. How do you take this off?
Thanks

the plastic cover just pops off... it may need a little persuasion with a flat head screwdriver... its just a wire harness clip, holds the wirring in place.

I just got my TYC black housing S-types today It's got a little credit card looking thingy in the box, it's basically a certificate showing they are DOT/SAE approved, I thought it was a gift cardh:

Here are some pics of the new tails, I just picked this car up about a week ago. No engine mods yet, just the CL wheels, piaas up front, and tyc tails. Trying to keep it clean. Feel free to give me some feedback.

car looks to be in really good shape. Good find! If you're up for it, lower the car about an inch or so... the larger wheels make it look like it sits high. Too bad there isnt any Honda wheels that use the same center cap... although you could always fill in the "A"s and repaint the caps...

Looks nice!

I'm definitely up for it, just have to see how much cash I can pull in this summer before I head back to school. Thanks for the comments!
