How do I remove 4th gen rear taillight assembly?

[Fro-Runner]

I removed the nuts from a couple of screws but still can not get the darn thing to come off the vehicle. Any help would be appreciated ASAP! Thanks!

You've got to wiggle it, just a little bit!!!!

Seriously, give the light a wiggle, then push it out from the bolts on the inside...it will come out, dont worry!!!

Good luck!

black tailights?

There is a rubber seal that you need to break free from, by applying a little pressure while, like roccos_van is saying, wiggling it..

Thanks peeps! I figured out it was that rubber seal sticking to the body of my Runner! I did not want to break my tail lamp assembly only to wait 4-6 weeks for a smoked tail lamp replacement from Japan (not black ones)!
