I agree with James and I'm sure everyone on here who has removed their lights will too...just tug a little harder!

its probably just the sealant around it. it kinda hardens over the years, and you basically have to break it to get it out. pull harder, it'll come out. i had the same problem.

The advice I got from someone on this board a while back was to get a heat gun under $30 (or borrow one) from most any hardware store. Preheat the edges of the lights until the sealant loosens up. Be careful not to get too close to the light... (those heat guns get pretty hot!!!), anyway, have some newspaper or something handy to sit the lights on, and use some work gloves...
Hey while we're on the subject... does anyone know how to remove the trunk finisher (reflector with Maxima in center)???

the trunk thing is easy to get off, just take all the screws off and pull, theres none of this glue crap on it that are one the lights, there should a screw on each corner of it and four on the inside under the trunk liner.
Cool. Thanks.
