as long as youve got the one screw taken out on top, all you need is some "positive reinforcement" - especially if its the first time theyve been taken out.
you may have to pull on them a little. i assume you are talking about the lights next to the headlights and not the blinkers since they are usually both confused as "corners"

all i can tell you is to keep pulling at that joint. i was afraid i was going to break mine the first time but they came out after some prying. try to get some leverage with a screwdriver and pop them out.

i used some wd-40 and put it back in there and then took like 2 more tugs and it came out with ease.
