Default Need Help Removing Bumper Lights

Got a 97 Teg, right bumper light went out so I wanted to replace it. There is only one screw on the bumber lights so I thought it would be easy...turns out, I cant take it off! Is there a special motion you do? ex. slide one way and push out or something? I have been trying and trying and i cant get if out! any help?

The light is held in by a bracket at the end opposite the screw.
Other than that, there's no magic to it whatsoever.

1) Loosen and remove screw with #2 Phillips screwdriver.
2) Pull lamp assembly out, starting with the corner nearest the screw.
3) Twist bulb socket base to unlock.
4) Replace bulb.
5) Reverse steps 1-3 to re-install.

Ya I figured it out. Mine was really stuck so I had to literally pry it out with the screwdriver. Thanks!

You're supposed to breathe on it really heavily until it walks itself off of the bumper. j/k you have to jiggle it and slide it outward.
