Removing 3rd party brake cover

[PhroZen101]

I just got my over lay for my 3rd party brake light but I am having trouble getting the cover to come off. I got one side to come lose(the passenger side) but the other side doesn't want to. I feel like I will brake something if I pull too hard...I already broke 1 light in there. Thanks for any help...btw its a 96 GASE.

Yes, just keep pulling until you think you're gonna break it. I did this, too. But when you put it back on, mine did this, anyway, it wouldn't snap fully into place because a strip of red above the "GT" was showing. So I really had to hit it hard and I heard another snap and it was all the way into place.
Think I might pull it off again and run a strip of black tape across the top because it still shows through a little.

Yeah, not sure what happened with mine, but I got it off and put the overlay on put it back it and there is a little light showing through on the bottom...not sure why cause i put it back on the same way i took it off. But it doesn't look too bad cause the light that shows through kinda underlines the words on the overlay.
BTW: Can you get red bulbs for those 3rd party brake lights..cause that would look cool if it was red light showing through.
