clearence light housing

this is gonna sound really dumb but how the hell to you get the clearence light housing out? (the ones next to the headlights). I've tried everything, and the upper inside corner where the screw is, is budging but the rest wont move. What am I doing wrong?

After you take out the screw, just pull on the edge of the light that touches your headlight. The first time you take it out, you may have to pull pretty hard, especially if it's cold. If all else fails, you can stick a flat screwdriver between the to lights and pry it out, but do this only as a last resort, and be careful not to scratch anything or tear the rubber lining in there!

i KNOW youve tried to pry it out by now correct?
a lot of people find it hard to get this out.
it was hard but when i put the screwdriver in the right place- it came right out. but i forgot where it was. so someone please remind me
-i think you have to position the head of the scrwdriver where the little nub that fits in the hole goes
