or you can take a blow drier or heat gun and heat the edges up where the housing meets the trunk. Do the outside and inside.
Best to have to people (one heating them up, and the other pushing

thats what I said. I heated them up and they just popped out. When I tried without heat, they wouldnt budge

Well I got them out by a combination of pushing from the inside of the trunk to prying on the outside, it was a good fight they came out though, one of the lens cracked a lil bit thought which made me upset because I planned on selling them on here.

i used a heat gun set to high, maybe two passes all around the INSIDE where the black sealant is used. if you use a hair dryer its safer but will take more time. don't stay at one spot too long, and don't get the heatgun too close. don't use the heat gun on the outer lens as it will melt it.
after the sealant is warmed up just push from the inside out, i would avoid prying from the outside. heat it up a little and try to get it out, if its too difficult add more heat.

the only thing is I didn't have a heat gun or blow dryer, so I got stuck doing it that way, i used a lighter on it a lil bit that loosened it up, heat does work well on the sealant I just didn't have any of the correct stuff.
